Heaven Is Falling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I walk beneath the valley
I shall fear no evil
'Cause thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet
Today, murder is legal

God, I know that it's wrong
To kill my brother for what he hasn't done

And as the planes blacken the sky
It sounds like heaven is fallin' (Fallin')

[Chorus]
It sounds like heaven is fallin'
You promised me a new day a'dawnin'
I see a thousand points of light
Like so many points of hatred, shame, and horror


[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
God, I want to be a man
But I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand
And as the planes blacken the sky
It sounds like heaven is fallin' (Fallin')

[Chorus]
It sounds like heaven is fallin'
You promised me a new day a'dawnin'
Well nothing here looks new to me
But a score of mothers' sons caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Brett wrote heaven is falling because:

“Well, it was anger, it was also frustration because I wanted to do something. And all around me were these kids in punk bands saying to me, hey man, I’m ready to go, if they draft me I’m ready to go.”
