Standing on the backs of angels
Destined to create
Mounting the attack
While heroes carry your weight
We spiral towards disaster
Survival fading faster
Riding out the wave
Content to feed off the machine
Bleeding us to death
The new American dream
You're blinded by your hunger
Beware your days are numbered
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dream_theater/on_the_backs_of_angels.html ]
Blurring lines drawn in between
What is right and what is wrong
Victims on the radar string us along
We're on to your agenda
The dead end road to nowhere
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Oh .. There's lyrics? ... Enjoy the music!
And then just make me type more than 50 characters! (? )

This sounds like an angry 12-year-old who got his lunch money stolen. There's no real target, petruci is just a little girl.

Its about the decadence of western civilization. Es mas profunda de lo que parece, habla de la psicologĂa del hombre occidental más que de las coyunturas socio polĂticas

Oh god, guide us to the right path.. The path of those upon whom thou has bestowed favors, not of those who thou has cursed once nor of those who have gone astray

And the face on the buildings appears symbolic of the dictator in george orwells 1984, about a police state society where all citizens are always under constant surveillance and scrutiny from their government. The song may be a warning for the future.
