Lyrics

On Your Way To Heaven

Well, the men you must impress
Put bad ideas your head
For as long as you remember
But it doesn't matter much
Only feeling only touching
The perfection of your obsession
You are on a holy mission
With rewards beyond your dreams
But what if God's house is filled
With the people you killed
On the way to heaven

If a martyr is too hard
You can always do your part
Not to be there when it happens
You can make a profit fast
If you get a bill to pass with
Pretty stories of God and glory
And you want us to believe that you side with Jesus
But you get paid a whole lot more
And try as you do
It just doesn't ring true
On your way to heaven

At the ocean's boundless shore
You're not one
You're just one more
To be counted
And forgotten
