Lyrics

So, How I wish, so you think you can tell heav en from hell, two lost souls swim ming in a blue bowl, skies from pain. year af ter year, Can you tell a green field run ning o ver the same from a cold, steel rail, What have we found? a smile The same from a (Am)fears. veil, do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your he roes for (D)ghosts, hot ash es for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold com fort for charge? And did you ex change a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? Da da da da da da da da da. Da da da da da da da da da.
