Heaven from Hell,

blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?~

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?
D
Cold comfort for change?

Did you exchange
C
A walk-on part in the war
G
for a lead role in a cage?

We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,

year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?
Am
The same old fears.
G
Wish you were here.
