As I walk beneath the valley
I shall fear no evil
just thank the King George and his rainbow cabinet
today murder is legal

God I know that it's wrong
to kill my brother for what he hasn't done
and as the planes blacken the sky
it sounds like heaven is falling

it sounds like heaven is falling
you promise me a new day a'dawning
I see a thousand points of light
like so many points of hatred, shame and horror

God I want to be a man
but I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand
and as the planes blacken the sky
it sounds like heaven is falling

it sounds like heaven is falling
you promise me a new day a'dawning
well nothing here looks new to me
but a score of mothers' sons
caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
