On The Backs Of Angels

Dream Theater Dream Theater

Standing on the Backs of Angels
Destined to create
Mounting the attack
While heroes carry your weight

We spiral towards disaster
Survival fading faster

Riding off the wave
Content to feed off the machine
Leading us to death
The new American Dream

You're blinded by your hunger
Beware, your days are numbered

[Chorus]
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like the lamb to the slaughter

Blurring lines drawn in between
What is right and what is wrong
Victims on the radar
Straining us alone

We're on to your agenda
The dead end road to nowhere

[Chorus]
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like the lamb to the slaughter

Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like the lamb to the slaughter
