Angel, Demon

By Una Elfman

An angel is something to be afraid of

Beauty, heavenly pain

Untouched, pure, wise

Simple enmity, their hate for me.

I can't win, I can't fight;

What good comes of fighting angels?

No reasons, no rationalization,

Only the authority to hurt me

They say, "She deserved it,

Evil little bitch,

Threatening us."

Threatening by being alone,

By being outnumbered five hundred to one,

By walking another way.

They've no idea how wrong they are.

A demon is nothing to be afraid of

No different from any foe on earth

I could win, I could fight

I could beat it down

Like I've been beaten before,

Like I've flared back

Like I'm still fighting.

Angel, demon

I can't tell the difference any more.
