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 |
