Which Way to Heaven
===================

A man surveys the battlefield alone, he's not one to take sides
But with this war he notices something new
The oceans wax and wane in nuclear tides
Bulldozing all the soft beeches from view

A silent march fills the mute air as the ranks close in
Their guns primed and prepared
And so the bullets fly from the loner's mind at whim
His destiny had been dared

And he casts a shadow
Which he doesn't understand
He ponders his presence
Grips his weapon tight in hand

Should I kill this man
Will He be on my side
Knowing that what I did
Was the only thing I tried

Does nature favor those
who walk the most erect
Does He builds doors for those
Whose paths are most direct

He sees the road define a path in front of him
But beneath it all is bare
Long ago, before this concrete scraped the earth
There were ideas of roads built everywhere

Chorus:
There's a sign 10 miles high at the crossroad
That directs him to what he's looking for
"This way to Heaven" chimes the glyphs, inked in gold
But without an arrow, tells him no more

The clocks which beat their hearts
To the tune only of the sun
Dedicate their lives to caging us in
To a life of misery and failure
Dictated by dead lines
That cut efforts too short for us to win

So when the zenith 'bove my head houses the sun
My wanting gaze drifts above
In search of what kind force this Universe is run
Because I don't Feel this thing called Love
