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 (heaven is falling)
It sounds like heaven is falling
You promised me a new day of dawning
I see a thousand points of light
Like so many points of hatred, shame, and horror
(ooh ooh oh) God I want to be a man
(ooh ooh oh) 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 (heaven is falling (ooh ooh oh))
It sounds like heaven is falling
You promised me a new day of dawning
Well nothing here looks new to me
But a score of mothers’ sons
Caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea
