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
