HEAVEN ON EARTH?


The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won. SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth. PEACE ON EARTH

Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time
Wake up, wake up dead man. WAKE UP DEAD MAN


Heaven on Earth, we need it now
I'm sick of all of this, hanging around
Sick of sorrow, sick of the pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be Peace on Earth
. PEACE ON EARTH

Lay down, lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons. LOVE AND PEACE OR ELSE

Head of heaven, fingers in the mire. SO CRUEL

So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole. PLEASE

So where is the hope and where is the faith and the love? IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart…
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
 SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
