Temptation's Wings

Down

I feel the pressure, it lightens
To judge this spirit of mine
To be like the judgment
To be the king that is left behind

To hell with I miss you
I said I'd do it alone
Feeling the problem
A broken vision to call my own

I gave my life to reason
So now I'm watching my life go
My wit is falling apart
I can't shake temptation's wings
I can't shake temptation's wings

I bury my head with frustration
And I look at others and wonder why
I'm feeding my cancer
A broken vision that stole my sight

I gave my life to reason
Now I'm watching my life go
My wit is falling apart
I can't shake temptation's wings
I can't shake temptation's wings
I can't shake temptation's wings
I can't temptation's wings

Temptation's wings
(Temptation's wings, temptations wings)

Temptation's wings
Temptation's wings got me pale
Temptation's wings
Temptation's wings got me pale
Why? Why? Why?
Temptation's wings got me pale
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Magical

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
