Kill the Devil; hug the Angel

New song.
Let's be the Good we want to see in the World.

Note: "Kill" in this song is a metaphor for overcoming the Dark. No actual murder is being advocated. 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
By Michelle Morris

I built you up 
Like a Devil in my mind
All your unkind words and deeds
A Darkness that you seem to find 

And as much as I'm an Angel
There's only so much I can take
I still have a human side
My Heart is close to breaking 

I know it's time to leave this place 
To take on a different Path
Because I deserve a better one
Where Heaven heals my Heart 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
And round and round we go 
Every time you choose the Darkness 
The World gets less Glow 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
It's time for you to learn
Every time you choose the Darkness 
Your Soul is closer to burning 

You don't want to know it
That I see right into you
Your Soul is like a book I read 
It's always revealing your Dark Truths 

I wish you could see it clearer 
I wish you could understand 
Raise your vibration and be enlightened 
Become a better man

As I walk away in Peace
Leaving Forgiveness in my wake
I'll take every single Lesson 
And learn from my mistakes 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
And round and round we go 
Every time you choose the Darkness 
The World gets less Glow 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
It's time for you to learn
Every time you choose the Darkness 
Your Soul is closer to burning 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
And round and round we go 
Every time you choose the Darkness 
The World gets less Glow 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
It's time for you to learn
Every time you choose the Darkness 
Your Soul is closer to burning
