The killer lives inside me yes I can feel him move

Sometimes he's lightly sleeping in the quiet of his room

But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine

He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside

Yes the killer lives

The angels live inside me I can feel them smile

Their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my mind

And their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought

They watch me as I go to fall well I know I shall be caught

For the angels live

How can I be free

How can I get help

Am I really me

Am I someone else

But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom

And death's head throws his cloak onto the corner of my room

And I am doomed

But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth

And solemn waiting old man in the gables of the roof

He tells me truth

And I too live inside me and very often don't know who I am

I know I'm not a hero I hope that I'm not damned

I'm just a man and killers angels all are these

Dictators saviors refugees

In war and peace

As long as man lives

I'm just a man and killers angels all are these

Dictators saviors refugees
