Heaven Gets What It Wants (feat. Howard Jones) Lyrics

Now comes the quiet
Without any peace
Sense of suspicion
Perception of unease
The once angelic aura now induces grief
They took advantage of the weak

Heaven gets what it wants
We're just trying to forget
Heaven takes some of us
We hold the pieces of what's left

Oh, life transforms to torture
With no retreat
As power consumes
We must confront the beast
You have been renounced
We question motives
There's always two sides
The story unfolds

Heaven gets what it wants
We're just trying to forget
Heaven takes some of us
We hold the pieces of what's left

The ones who need mercy
Led to believe
Salvation comes at a cost
They barely have enough
They hardly can get by
The meager give their last cent
For a chance in the sky
Why would paradise deny the impoverished?
Their promised land is only for the prosperous
Why do some feast while others starve?
The ones who sin always first to judge

Heaven takes some of us
We're just trying to forget

Heaven gets what it wants
We're just trying to forget (To forget)
Heaven takes some of us
We hold the pieces of what's left (What's left)
Heaven gets what it wants
We're just trying to forget (To forget)
Heaven takes some of us
We hold the pieces of what's left (What's left)

Heaven gets what it wants
Heaven takes some of us
Heaven gets what it wants
Heaven takes
