| Last night I went to sleep
|
| And dreamed the strangest dream
|
| I was a prisoner in a land I’d never seen
|
| The heat was so unbearable
|
| The day was black as night
|
| And I heard my children’s children screaming
|
| You left it all to us
|
| The oceans and the skies
|
| You let it all decay
|
| Before your very eyes
|
| The judge and jury they have sentenced you to life
|
| But that’s not long enough
|
| Cause life has passed you by
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| You left us with your broken promises
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| There’s no time to change it all
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| You left us with your broken promises
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| There’s no time to change it all, to change it
|
| Out in the distance
|
| I could hear a lost soul’s cry
|
| Waiting for relief to come
|
| Left alone out on the wire
|
| I saw the face of God
|
| In a cradle as a child
|
| He held the cross within his hands
|
| A sword was in his side
|
| He came a second time
|
| But still was crucified
|
| You never did believe
|
| The one called Jesus Christ
|
| You called yourself a Christian
|
| But what about your faith?
|
| You built your temples of desire
|
| Upon the sacred place
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| You left us with your broken promises
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| There’s no time to change it all
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| You left us with your broken promises
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| There’s no time to change it all, to change it
|
| A shelter in an underground
|
| Strange symbols on the wall
|
| A rat infested sewer
|
| Like some relic from the war
|
| You left it all to us, you left it all to us
|
| These are the corridors of power
|
| Where forever you shall walk
|
| I searched the wastelands till
|
| I found someone I knew
|
| Then I finally realized
|
| The nightmare had come true
|
| The place where I was standing
|
| Was the place where I was born
|
| And my name was on the roll of honour
|
| To the fallen of the third world war
|
| You left it all to us
|
| The oceans and the skies
|
| You let it all decay
|
| Before your very eyes
|
| The judge and jury they have sentenced you to life
|
| But that’s not long enough
|
| Cause life has passed you by
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| You left us with your broken promises
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| There’s no time to change it all
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| You left us with your broken promises
|
| No more hell on earth
|
| There’s no time to change it all, to change it |
