Why is it no suprise 
I'm succumbing to fear? 
Unforeseen alibis 
In my head I can hear 

Devil on my shoulder 
Taking control over 
Action, reaction 
I just can't set it free 

Take you down 
If I'm gonna die 
Take You Down With Me 
Take you down 
And I know it ain't right 
Take You Down With Me 

I try to understand 
War, suffering and pain 
Turning mankind against man 
A generation is slain 

Angel on my shoulder 
Fighting control over 
My temptation to 
Destroy all that I see 

Take you down 
If I'm gonna die 
Take You Down With Me 
And I know it ain't right 
Take You Down With Me 

Take you down 
If I'm crucified 
Take You Down With Me 
From the mountain on high 
Take You Down With Me 

Take you down 
If I'm gonna die 
Take You Down With Me 
And I know it ain't right 
Take You Down With Me 
From the starry sky 
Take you down with me
