lyrics

I’ve watched the skies light up
just like the end of days
a red and setting sun.
Which of us will be saved?

Are there demons to the left of me
and angels to the right?

A winding country road.
A car caught up on fire.
Don’t know which way to go
sat upon melting tyres

Does good carry a flaming sword
and bad aim to stop the fight?

Can’t demons love and angels tempt?
Is Hell below my feet and Heaven above my head?
Well, it’s better not said

Caught up on city streets
under the pouring rain.
They can’t admit defeat
because the world will never be the same

The end is coming
and now they're running out of time.

The roar of motor bikes
Slim, pale, red and black
An unholy light
filtering through smoking cracks

They walk together hand-in-hand
wings stretched towards the sky

Can't demons love and angels tempt
Is Hell below my feet and Heaven above my head?
Well, it's better not said

Is Hell below my feet and Heaven above my head?
Well, it's better not said
