Jacob and the Angel

The angel came to Jacob The room began to glow Jacob asked the angel Are you friend or are you foe? The angel never answered But smote him on the thigh They wrestled through the darkness Till morning filled the sky This thing between us, has wings, it has teeth It has got horns and feathers, and sinews beneath Angel or demon, to the truth I am bound, and so This thing between us must be wrestled down Jacob held on to the angel Who turned to fly, and to flee He said I must have your blessing Before I let you leave me The angel never answered But smote him on the thigh They wrestled through the darkness Till morning filled the sky And in the light He knew another name As he struggled and surrounded To the next part of the game This thing between us, has wings, it has teeth It has got horns and feathers, and sinews beneath Angel or demon, to the truth I am bound, and so This thing between us must be wrestled down
