I've wept for those who suffered long But how I weep for those who've gone Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong But keep on killing [?] the soul to feel such things But weak to watch without speaking Oh, what Mercy sadness brings If God is willing There's a train That's heading straight To Heaven's Gate To Heaven's Gate And on the way Child and man And woman, wait Watch and wait For redemption day Fire rages in the streets It swallows everything it meets It's just an image often seen On television, on television Come leaders come you men of "great" Let us hear you pontificate Your many virtues laid to waste And we aren't listening There's a train That's heading straight To Heaven's Gate To Heaven's Gate And on the way Child and man And woman, wait Watch and wait For redemption day Oh, yeah What do you have for us today Throw us a bone but save the plate Why we waited until so late Was there no oil to excavate No riches in trade for the fate Of every person who died in hate Throw us a bone, you men of "great" There's a train That's heading straight To Heaven's Gate To Heaven's Gate And on the way Child and man And woman wait Watch and wait For redemption day It's buried in the [?] It's exploding in the shells at night It's everywhere a baby cries Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom Freedom
