I hear the voices, darkness and light,
The quiet whispers as day and night,
Flowing like water, hot, then warm, then cold,
The smallest remission tears apart my soul.
Devils, angels and saints, I've seen them all,
Devils, angels and saints, I've been them all,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall.
I've seen blood and rain, the laughter and pain,
God, break this curse I'm under, that time began,
It's not life or death on the movie screen,
The tears of love can burn like gasoline.
Devils, angels and saints, I've been them all,
Devils, angels and saints, I've seen them all,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall.
Late in the night,
Takes all my strength to face myself and all my lies,
I'll chase my ghosts in someone else,
Sinning bravely until I die.
Devils, angels and saints, I've seen them all,
Devils, angels and saints, I've been them all,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall.
A nightmare of dreams of how life should be,
The blacker the darkness, the more I can see,
The prince of the air and the salt of the earth,
On streets paved in gold, all tears are diamonds in dirt.
Devils, angels and saints, I've been them all,
Devils, angels and saints, I've seen them all,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall,
Devils, angels and saints have been known to fall,
