Heaven Gets What It Wants - Jasta, Howard Jones

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
