Angels and demons in my ear
Whispering of courage and fear
One offering peace and salvation
The other, power and condemnation

~v~

One side offers me peace
A life of serenity and ease
I only have to block my feelings
And resist life’s wicked dealings

~v~

The other offers me power
The ability to bring down towers
I only have to forget all others
As I cut down their brothers

~v~

I have one answer to both sides
I shall follow neither dark nor light
I am free to forge my own destiny
As no one can take the best of me

~v~

I am not your guardian or savior
For I am needing of no favor
I am not your destroyer or bane
For those evils are in vain

~v~

I am a free man, able to choose
To bind myself to freedom or the noose
In the end, my life is of balance
And I shall seek my own guidance
