Angels or Demons

Wings in the sky
Dresses of gold
Hair made of silk
Stories untold

Eyes of the ocean
Porcelain skin
Lips made of rubies
They make no sin

Hearts made of silver
Cheeks flushed red
Shoes made of glass
No sense of dread

Tears made of diamonds
Nails colored blue
Brains of intelligence
The stories were true

Angels are real
And beautiful too
But with light there is dark
Your time is due

Wings in the fire
Clothing of graves
Hair made of webs
We've all become slaves

Eyes of despair
Leathery skin
Lips soaked in blood
So much sin

Hearts made of hatred
Cheeks stuffed full
Shoes made of ashes
They follow no rule

Tears made of madness
Nails colored black
Brains of pure evil
You'd better keep back

Demons are real
And horrible too
You know of them both
What will you do?
