When the sun's gone
And they cry laughing as they die
They won't look into your eyesMoonlight makes it so clear
Pierces the skin without the tears
The writing on the wall's been smearedTragedy, comedy
Bite the hand that set 'em free
Same old song with a different beat
Comedy, tragedyForget about heaven
And the book of fear
Forget about heaven
We're staying hereGetting so high but staying low
Stumbling, look out below
Halfway's too far to goForget about heaven
And the book of fear
Forget about heaven
We're staying hereBelief, disaster
Domination by persuasion
Nightmare is after
Your ruined faith beckons graceHold their heads down
When kneeling to pray
Heaven lies the other way
Cheated angels turned awayForget about heaven
And the book of fear
Forget about heaven
We're staying hereForget about heaven
Forget about heaven
Forget about heavenWhen the sun's gone
And they cry laughing as they die
