The angel came to Jacob |
|
The room began to glow |
|
Jacob asked the angel |
|
Are you friend or are you foe? |
|
The angel never answered |
|
But smote him on the thigh |
|
They wrestled through the darkness |
|
Till morning filled the sky |
|
This thing between us, has wings, it has teeth |
|
It has got horns and feathers, and sinews beneath |
|
Angel or demon, to the truth I am bound, and so |
|
This thing between us must be wrestled down |
|
Jacob held on to the angel, |
|
Who turned to fly, and to flee |
|
He said I must have your blessing |
|
Before I let you leave me |
|
The angel never answered |
|
But smote him on the thigh |
|
They wrestled through the darkness |
|
Till morning filled the sky |
|
And in the light |
|
He knew another name |
|
As he struggled and surrendered |
|
To the next part of the game |
|
This thing between us, has wings, it has teeth |
|
It has got horns and feathers, and sinews beneath |
|
Angel or demon, to the truth I am bound, and so |
|
This thing between us must be wrestled down |
|
This thing between us, has wings, it has teeth |
|
It has got horns and feathers, and sinews beneath |
|
Angel or demon to the truth I am bound and so |
|
This thing between us must be wrestled down. |
