Hell Is Closer Than Home

Shut your heart - but don't close your eyes

Don't dream of hope - there is only now

Never mind the cold - nor the dark, the snow

You may lose your home - never lose your goal

Man-machine of the infantry

When nations weep they cry tears of steel

Hold on tight, now your world gets small

Final breath, final curtain call

So if we all could go home tonight

We would dream there never was any fight

Then the tears of steel start to fall

I never thought that hell would be closer than home

Hell is closer than home

Looking up at the mortal sky

I hear my name in the whistling sound

As they ram our walls - could we turn around?

As they start to fall, am I next in line?

In the fields of blood flowers will grow

Devoid of memories past, deep in the soil

As I close my eyes, as I think of home

I miss those days that have yet to come

So if we all could go home tonight

We would dream there never was any fight

Then the tears of steel starts to fall

I never thought that hell could be closer than home

Hell is closer than home
