I don't believe what you're saying
I don't believe a word
You never did anything that was true
And hate will be your final work
I wouldn't dance at your party
No, I wouldn't risk a dance
And for the rest of my time
I will keep it mind
I will look at your life and will find:
When you're down on your knees
That's when you're closest to heaven
I don't believe when you're smiling
I don't believe in your mask
You hardly say anything you don't use
All your life is a lie at it's best
Your love means never another
Is there anything left that is true?
You will end all alone
With no peace of your own
'Cause the god of love you've never known!
When you're down on your knees
That's when you're closest to heaven
I guess you'll never get it
You'll never regret all the broken hearts
You've left behind
If there's one thing that you'll never find -
It's a peace of mind
There's always one a lonely street
Walking his way to the sun
There's always one
That takes the whole world's greed
All on his back and it's done
And ever since the world's turning
There's always a fool that is leading the blind
If there's one thing that you'll never find -
It's a peae of mind
Your thoughts are so low it's a shame
That's why for you everyone else is low
People see life through the glass in their hearts
So the fruits of your doings do show
In this world it all could mean maybe
But on the other side you'll hear it loud
I know time clears the clouds
One day you won't walk so proud
It will all be revealed there's no doubt
'Cause when you're down on your knees
That's when you're closest to heaven
When you're down on your knees
That's when you're closest to heaven
