Lyrics
HELL IS NOW
Castaways, runaways, Bedouins and thieves
Patiently they're watching for the guy with all the keys
They can't remember when it was they lost their memories
Won't you share the sunlight with me please
[Chorus:]
Heaven waits but hell is now,
hell is now, this is all they see,
hell
Empty eyes and empty lives and
cries staring back at me, well
Never mind, the soul is blind,
they're marking time
cause deep inside....a fire burns
Isolation, medication, contemplating dreams
Quietly they numb the sound of each and every scream
they can't remember when it was it got so hard to breath
Jesus could we have a little peace
[Chorus:]
Harlequins, Africans, painted refugees
searching for the answers in a land across the sea
I can't remember when it was the nights began to freeze
Lay your body close to mine and sleep
[Chorus:]
