Well do you want to know a secret?
Do you want to know the score?
There ain′t no heaven high above us
There ain’t no hell down below
This isn′t hedonistic chatter
I never said they don’t exist
They’re just a little closer to us
Than anybody will insist
Some people talking ′bout destruction
Low assaulted kingdom
How did they get there what′s their function
We sit back and watch it turn
A thousand deaths a metal martyrs
Look at the ones who gone before
It shouldn’t take a shot to tell us
Our only enemy is war
It′s closer than tomorrow
It’s sooner than today
It′s right here right now all the time
It ain’t gonna go away
It′s more real then you can make it
These words they like to sell
And when you turn that talk into reality
Said it really shouldn’t sit so well so help me
Plans made out every day
Trying to find a better way
Stop the world from going round
Take a breath and count again
And then begin all over again
They made the bed that I ain’t lying down
Turn your back and take a cruise
Either way a man will lose
No hills to honour this time
Modern convenience makes it simple
Don′t bother going out to fight the battle
You can stay home and die
And when we get so scared we pray
Bend our knees and raise our heads
But instead of looking upwards
We should be looking straight ahead
You see it′s right here trying to help us
Like children lead us by the hand
But the children get distracted
Building the toys of the damned
It’s closer than tomorrow
It′s sooner than today
It’s right here right now all the time
It ain′t gonna go away
It’s more real then you can make it
These words they like to sell
And when you turn that talk into reality
It really shouldn′t sit so well
