Heaven Help the Devil |
| In this land of chance do we know right from wrong |
| Even at a glance we know the road is long |
| We don’t owe a single thing to anyone |
| Most of us do not believe in come what may |
| Everything we fought for was in vain they say |
| Even when called upon to throw our lives away |
| We have been captured by the thieves of the night |
| Held for ransom if you please |
| Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories |
| In these times of trial and uncertainty |
| I have thought what does this freedom mean to me |
| Is it just some long forgotten fantasy |
| Our love for each other may not be explained |
| We live in a world where tears must fall like rain |
| Most of us don’t wish to cause each other pain |
| We have been captured by the thieves of the night |
| Held for ransom if you please |
| Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories |
| To every unsung hero in the universe |
| To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth |
| To all good men of reason may they never thirst |
| We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea |
| And faith that will remain through all eternity |
| We try to be helpful to the ones in need |
| We have been captured by the thieves of the night |
| Held for ransom if you please |
| Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories |
