Destruction Lyrics

Well do you want to know a secret?

Do you want to know the score?

There ain't no heaven high above us

There ain't no hell down below

This isn't hedonistic chatter

I never said they don't exist

They're just a little closer to us

Than anybody will insist

Some people talking 'bout destruction

Low assaulted kingdom

How did they get there what's their function

We sit back and watch it turn

A thousand deaths a metal martyrs

Look at the ones who gone before

It shouldn't take a shot to tell us

Our only enemy is war

It's closer than tomorrow

It's sooner than today

It's right here right now all the time

It ain't gonna go away

It's more real then you can make it

These words they like to sell

And when you turn that talk into reality

Said it really shouldn't sit so well so help me

Plans made out every day

Trying to find a better way

Stop the world from going round

Take a breath and count again

And then begin all over again

They made the bed that I ain't lying down

Turn your back and take a cruise

Either way a man will lose

No hills to honour this time

Modern convenience makes it simple

Don't bother going out to fight the battle

You can stay home and die

And when we get so scared we pray

Bend our knees and raise our heads

But instead of looking upwards

We should be looking straight ahead

You see it's right here trying to help us

Like children lead us by the hand

But the children get distracted

Building the toys of the damned

It's closer than tomorrow

It's sooner than today

It's right here right now all the time

It ain't gonna go away

It's more real then you can make it

These words they like to sell

And when you turn that talk into reality

It really shouldn't sit so well
