Heaven's Above
Heavens above, what have we done?
We've killed off the thing we had so little of
True, love has no truth without a price
But the cost of loving has been blown sky high
Spend on the hope they call, "The Peacemaker"
And pray to their God, the Heavy Rainmaker
Paegans of wealth they dance so freely
As they give away the life that comes so cheaply, yeah
Don't you see
There's a better way for us to be
And in the back of your mind
You know it's just a matter of time
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens, no, oh-oh
Time here today is life tomorrow
Oh, but life means less now the time is borrowed
Paid for in blood, the donors seem keen
As they realise too late they've been so cheated, yeah
Don't you see
There's a better way for us to be?
And in the back of your mind
You know it's just a matter of time
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens, oh-oh
Heavens above, heavens
Surely by now we've paid the price
What is there left to sacrifice?
You take the power, you take the pay
You steal the will and have the say
I'm sure by now there's not much left
One hand on heart, one on a breast
You steal the milk, you milk the land
But your time is up, your time is sand!
We've killed off the thing we had so little of
True, love has no truth without a price
But the cost of loving has been blown sky high
Spend on the hope they call, "The Peacemaker"
And pray to their God, the Heavy Rainmaker
Paegans of wealth they dance so freely
As they give away the life that comes so cheaply, yeah
Don't you see
There's a better way for us to be
And in the back of your mind
You know it's just a matter of time
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens, no, oh-oh
Time here today is life tomorrow
Oh, but life means less now the time is borrowed
Paid for in blood, the donors seem keen
As they realise too late they've been so cheated, yeah
Don't you see
There's a better way for us to be?
And in the back of your mind
You know it's just a matter of time
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens
Heavens above, heavens, oh-oh
Heavens above, heavens
Surely by now we've paid the price
What is there left to sacrifice?
You take the power, you take the pay
You steal the will and have the say
I'm sure by now there's not much left
One hand on heart, one on a breast
You steal the milk, you milk the land
But your time is up, your time is sand!
