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
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
About
Genius Annotation
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.”
