When the sun's gone

And they cry laughing as they die

They won't look into your eyes

Moonlight makes it so clear

Pierces the skin without the tears

The writing on the wall's been smeared

Tragedy, comedy

Bite the hand that set 'em free

Same old song with a different beat

Comedy, tragedy

Forget about heaven

And the book of fear

Forget about heaven

We're staying here

Getting so high but staying low

Stumbling, look out below

Halfway's too far to go

Forget about heaven

And the book of fear

Forget about heaven

We're staying here

Belief, disaster

Domination by persuasion

Nightmare is after

Your ruined faith beckons grace

Hold their heads down

When kneeling to pray

Heaven lies the other way

Cheated angels turned away

Forget about heaven

And the book of fear

Forget about heaven

We're staying here

Forget about heaven

Forget about heaven

Forget about heaven

When the sun's gone

And they cry laughing as they die
