Something you've heard
   somewhere you've seen
   too real to ignore
   you've chosen not to believe
   from the black of their pain
   to the white of their fear
   in the dust they die
   while Eden lies near
  
   The freedom bought,
   changed hands, was sold
   this heat of love has turned ice-cold
  
   We just can't escape it
   like flames reaching out from the sun
  
   From the garden of love,
   been banished too long
   and the balance will shift
   between the week and the strong
   once they would beg and they would plead
   but now they demand
   divided by those that need
   and those that command
  
   The freedom bought,
   changed hands, was sold
   the heat of love has turned ice-cold and
   we never learn but we know too well
   heaven's died and gone to hell
  
   We just can't escape it
   like flames reaching out from the sun
   like flames reaching out from the sun
   We can’t defend it
   like flames reaching out from the sun
  
   Now you watch but you should have run
   like flames that leap from the base of the sun
   and you dream you're free but you'll awake
   too much too late, too much too late
  
   The freedom bought,
   changed hands, was sold
   the heat of love has turned ice-cold and
   we never learn but we know too well
   heaven's died and gone to hell
