lyrics

That the world might walk again
On sheets of golden sand
Is the deceit of the blind man's grin
It's the dream of the foolish man
Heaven only knows when the sun will rise again

And if the clockwork's turn shall stall
When no waged war can be won
Will we as heroes heed the call
Or as cowards, turn to run
Heaven only knows when we're held beneath the gun

Well the optimists they say
That the war torn days shall be ending
And that through the fog and haze
We'll find ourselves close to Heaven
But Heaven only knows when her children shall be forgiven

Now these leaders walk these streets
With their followers closing tail
And it's an endless seeking feat
On an unmarked dead-end trail
Heaven only knows when free thinking minds will prevail

When the mushroom clouds they rise
High above the noon sun falling down
Will the soldiers stand in stride
Or lay their arms to the ground
Heaven only knows when they're held beneath the sounds

And that the end day soon shall come
Here on Earth stand hand in hand
It is the beating of the empty drum
It's the dream of the foolish man
