Jacob and the Angel

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 surrounded
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
