Heaven's Right lyrics

So common to think

To believe, to hope

That heaven's right

Yet we are accustomed -

Told that we get it all

Deserving what then

A realm eternal above us

Perfection beyond desire

Beyond all of us

Where is the limit to greed

The collision with ourselves

Who we really are

Does avarice know itself

Lest hell walk in the gates

Soulless angels pounce

What then is heaven

Is it a step away from hell

Indulgence immeasurable

Humanity spells out ideals

Yet each one defined solely

Cloistered in paradise

In infinite scenery

With limitless time

How could it be so

What is one man's treasure

Could be another man's hell

Yet desired, a heaven full of junk

Logic defies itself there

Eden must be thoughtless

To be so perfect

Intellect would bring misery

In a universe overturned

Where ignorance is bliss

If paradise were simplicity

Where everything was renewed

That's heaven's right
