|
Last night I went to sleep |
|
And dreamed the strangest dream |
|
I was a prisoner in a land I'd never seen |
|
The heat was so unbearable |
|
The day was black as night |
|
And I heard my children's children screaming |
|
You left it all to us |
|
The oceans and the skies |
|
You let it all decay |
|
Before your very eyes |
|
The judge and jury they have sentenced you to life |
|
But that's not long enough |
|
Cause life has passed you by |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
You left us with your broken promises |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
There's no time to change it all |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
You left us with your broken promises |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
There's no time to change it all, to change it |
|
Out in the distance |
|
I could hear a lost soul's cry |
|
Waiting for relief to come |
|
Left alone out on the wire |
|
I saw the face of God |
|
In a cradle as a child |
|
He held the cross within his hands |
|
A sword was in his side |
|
He came a second time |
|
But still was crucified |
|
You never did believe |
|
The one called Jesus Christ |
|
You called yourself a Christian |
|
But what about your faith? |
|
You built your temples of desire |
|
Upon the sacred place |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
You left us with your broken promises |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
There's no time to change it all |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
You left us with your broken promises |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
There's no time to change it all, to change it |
|
A shelter in an underground |
|
Strange symbols on the wall |
|
A rat infested sewer |
|
Like some relic from the war |
|
You left it all to us, you left it all to us |
|
These are the corridors of power |
|
Where forever you shall walk |
|
I searched the wastelands till |
|
I found someone I knew |
|
Then I finally realized |
|
The nightmare had come true |
|
The place where I was standing |
|
Was the place where I was born |
|
And my name was on the roll of honour |
|
To the fallen of the third world war |
|
You left it all to us |
|
The oceans and the skies |
|
You let it all decay |
|
Before your very eyes |
|
The judge and jury they have sentenced you to life |
|
But that's not long enough |
|
Cause life has passed you by |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
You left us with your broken promises |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
There's no time to change it all |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
You left us with your broken promises |
|
No more hell on earth |
|
There's no time to change it all, to change it |
