Banished From Heaven

I've been told of heaven, a place I never found
I've been told of heaven, prize for enslaved mankind
I've been told of heaven, a place I'll never find
Banished from their heaven, in hell I'd better die.

Hold me now we are walking on the shore of hell
Desolated wasteland where today never ends.

Walking on the bitter sands of memory
Violated, betrayed, please don't leave my hand.

Run, set me free from the shine of the sun
Burning eyes are leading blind our feet
There is nowhere to hide from ourselves
Naked truth, broken youth
Guilt and shame, cries and pain since we bore until we die.

Flesh burnt by shine of the sun
Souls affected by the shadows of doubt
No redemption, deliverance comes
For the ones that believe in a God
Never seen, never heard, never loved.

Now I lay down on you, my one and only truth
Now I lay down on you, and the sun won't shine new.

And when I thought of heaven, a dream I can't recall
So what I thought of heaven: their blissfulness mirage.

War is behind the curtain of the days we left
Isolation, silence, deserted land.

Run, set me free from the shine of the sun
Burning eyes are leading blind our feet
There is nowhere to hide from ourselves
Naked truth, broken youth
Guilt and shame, cries and pain since we bore until we die.

Flesh burnt by shine of the sun
Souls affected by the shadows of doubt
No redemption, deliverance comes
For the ones that believe in a God
Never seen, never heard, never loved.

Now I lay down on you, my one and only truth
Now I lay down on you, and the sun won't shine new.
