Heaven is a Dark Place dreams of an exotic paradise where angels "love to dress in black" and night is perpetual. With its trip hop beats, bluesy guitar hook, and rolling bassline, this is a song that's, as one DJ put it, "hard to get out of your head".

Lyrics
Heaven is a dark place
It's a secret that we keep
From the human race
Why do you think so many souls
Have yet to find the light?
There is no light to find
There's only the night
Heaven is a dark place
You could even say
It's a hell of a disgrace
Why do you think all our priests
Behave the way they do?
Has it ever crossed your mind
That they're tortured too
Heaven is a dark place
A little devil such as you
Could never show her face
All the angels who live there
They love to dress in black
And once you enter
There's no going back
Heaven is a dark place
How, you may ask
Do I know this?
I've been there, you see
I've felt eternal bliss
I've been to heaven
I've felt your deadly kiss
