When the sun's gone   And they cry laughing as they die   They won't look into your eyes      Moonlight makes it so clear   Pierces the skin without the tears   The writing on the wall's been smeared      Tragedy, comedy   Bite the hand that set 'em free   Same old song with a different beat   Comedy, tragedy      Forget about heaven   And the book of fear   Forget about heaven   We're staying here      Getting so high but staying low   Stumbling, look out below   Halfway's too far to go      Forget about heaven   And the book of fear   Forget about heaven   We're staying here      Belief, disaster   Domination by persuasion   Nightmare is after   Your ruined faith beckons grace      Hold their heads down   When kneeling to pray   Heaven lies the other way   Cheated angels turned away      Forget about heaven   And the book of fear   Forget about heaven   We're staying here      Forget about heaven   Forget about heaven   Forget about heaven      When the sun's gone   And they cry laughing as they die
