Bad Religion - Heaven Is Falling Lyrics






As I walk beneath the valley
I shall fear no evil
for thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet
today murder is legal
God I know that it's wrong
to kill my brother for what he hasn't done
and as the planes blacken the sky
it sounds like heaven is falling
it sounds like heaven is falling
you promises me a new day a'dawning
I've seen a thousand points of light
like so many points of hatred, shame and horror
God I want to be a man
but I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand
and as the planes blacken the sky
it sounds like heaven is falling
it sounds like heaven is falling
you promised me a new day a'dawning
well nothing here looks new to me
but a score of mothers' sons
caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea

Bad Religion Heaven Is Falling Comments
  1. A.... V....

    A precious little piece. That has to be the best Bad Religion solo (is so full of emotion).

  2. O.... C....

    Its 2018 and this song still makes me profoundly sad.

  3. J.... D....

    Atheist folk in it’s purest form :D

  4. C.... T....

    From Hensley to Danny. Best time to be a teenager1

  5. M.... ....

    fuck false hope

  6. F.... W....

    "God I want to be a man, but I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand" I couldn't have said it better

    F.... W....

    Yeah no shit

  7. d.... a....

    Como te quiero Bad Religion!
    Saludos desde Monte Grande, Argentina!

  8. F.... I....

    Very low volume..upload a better version please. The song deserves some respect.

    F.... I....

    That's the way it sounds on the album. Uploading a "better version", as you put it, would be disrespectful to Brett. So go fuck yourself some.

    F.... I....

    Upload it yourself you lazy piece of shit!

    F.... I....

    frank grimes Grimey!!!

  9. J.... C....

    "Well nothing here looks new to me, but a score of mothers' sons caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea." Beautifully said. God damn I love this song.

  10. R.... D....

    Bad religion - my alltime hero's! remember my first B.R. gig 22 years back

  11. m.... ....

    Great song off a classic fucking album. Makes me feel like a teenager again

  12. p.... ....

    hell yeah

  13. O.... K....

    @A2Z83 I guess that would be true in most cases accutaly, but I think I'm starting to get what AdamRainStopper is getting at. Many other punk rock bands are delivering statements on serious matters via music that imo sounds and feels casual, while BR really doesn't fit with that kind of approach to music. BR have a more clear sound and therefore the out-of-tune guittars would be an odd diversion from what one would be used to hear from BR.
    But hey, no rule without an exeption!

  14. A.... ....

    @OskarMGKruse if hey couldn't then I guess they shouldn't be listening to punk music. Probably should stick to prog rock or something.

  15. A.... R....

    @A2Z83 Examples? More talent than I'll "ever have", deliberately out of tune?
    Making a lot of money is not an indication of talent. Most big money making "artists" are digitally "auto-tuned". BR continue to progress as musicians, and pay attention to details (being in tune for instance). This recording is the exception not the rule.
    Do you play an instrument? Define "out of tune"?
    If all 6 strings are down 1/2-step, but the strings are in tune with each other, that is NOT what I'm talking about.

  16. O.... K....

    @AdamRainStopper Then I guess I'm glad that I can't hear it lol! Is it the same on other recordings of this song, or is it just some problem with this specific upload? Would be a shame if the more musicaly gifted wouldn't be able to enjoy this imo :/

  17. A.... R....

    @OskarMGKruse Out of tune guitars don't sound good, it's not about overproducing something or trying to make it flawless, but BR always records like 4 or 5 guitar tracks layered one on top of the other so it has a thicker, denser texture and comes out sounding like that big wall of speaker cabinets you see behind the band. When one of those is out of tune, it won't be noticeable, but when several of them are, it ends up sounding like someone isn't putting their heart in to it.

  18. O.... K....

    @AdamRainStopper I don't know shit about that kind of stuff, but I do really like this song!
    Perhaps it's the beauty of flaw that makes this song stand out abit for me.

  19. A.... ....

    I don't fucking care if something is out of tune. People with more talent than you'll ever have have made plenty of money recording music where they purposely made their guitar out of tune. The version I heard from some compilation was way way better than this album version.

  20. A.... R....

    Wow, if you play guitar or have a good ear, listen to this in headphones, one of the guitars is actually out of tune! I haven't listened to much of this album, but most of it is great, and I like this song, I've just never heard a BR song with out-of-tune instruments, even from live stuff. Please tell me you uploaded this from vinyl and the motor on the turntable is worn out (that can cause stuff to sound out of tune) or maybe from tape? I can't (and really don't want to) believe my ears, but...

    A.... R....

    I just wanted to know how you being a know-it-all has treated you these past 6 years. BTW, you're wrong.

  21. F.... ....
