"Heaven Is Falling"

As I walk beneath the valley,
I shall fear no evil.
For thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet
today murder is legal.
God I know that it's wrong,
to kill my brother for what he hasn't done.
And as the planes blacken the sky,
it sounds like heaven is falling.
It sounds like heaven is falling,
you promised me a new day a'dawning.
I've seen a thousand points of light
like so many points of hatred, shame, and horror
God I want to be a man,
but I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand.
And as the planes blacken the sky,
it sounds like heaven is falling.
It sounds like heaven is falling,
you promised me a new day a'dawning.
Well nothing here looks new to me
but a score of mothers' sons
caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
