Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Dream Theater - On The Backs of Angels ------------------------------------------ Standing on the backs of angels Destined to create Mounting the attack While heroes carry the weight We spiral toward disaster Survival fading faster Riding out the wave Content to feeding the machine Bleeding us to death The new American dream You're blinded by your hunger Beware, your days are numbered Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burning me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Burning lines drawn in between What is right and what is wrong Victims of the radar String us along We're onto your agenda The dead are wrong to nowhere Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burning me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burning me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
