Choose Your Heaven

There was nowhere to sleep, so he wandered the night Saw the wreckage of life to which we've been led And all of the factories that had ground to a halt By the side of the ocean, boiling with blood We're corpses in their loving hands Sleepwalking through a nether land And when we wake from dreams there will be nothing left Are you satisfied in your cage Feeling nothing, no love or hate or pain? Will you settle for nothing? There are those in our ranks who would lull us to sleep As they wrap the whole planet in a skin of concrete They are the wolves in shepherd's clothing They sent your sons to the tomb, put a flag on the moon The stakes are the very soul of humanity When she drew back the shroud from the remains of our age She fled through the streets gripped by hideous fear Until she knelt at the foot of the sky where it touches the sand In the twilight it felt like she was the last one alive Choking on the ashes borne in on the wind When our flesh fills the air and falls softly like snow And a red cloud rises behind the earth It blots out all the stars, and the sufferers below That's the mere antechamber of their paradise As we breathe in our death We're corpses in their loving hands Sleepwalking through a never never land And when we wake from dreams there will be nothing fucking left Are you comfortable in your cages? Living out your very numbered days? Don't settle for nothing
