Heaven Must Be Hell

it was the fourth year of the war
working and sleeping on the floor
fell hard for Bassem, he said that we should try
we bought the promise of a new life

it was Saturday morning when the call came
today was gonna be the day
five hundred people on a fishing boat
I prayed to god that it would float

who’ll be there to help you when you’re in need
who wants to help a heartless creep
when the cold wind start to blow
and the borders have been closed
where will you run, when the war comes

sick to my stomach, from worry and the waves
a dark premonition, the sea will be our grave
he told me to be patient, hold on a little more
in sixteen hours we will reach the shore

then I saw a boat of men approaching us
they tried to force us to get off
they drove into us, like a battering ram
I heard them laughing as we sank

who’ll be there to help you when you’re in need
who wants to help a heartless creep
when the cold wind start to blow
and the borders have been closed
where will you run, when the war comes

held on to a life ring with Bassem by my side
he fought hard until the next day when he gazed into my eyes
“I’ve never loved anyone as much as I love you”
then his hand slipped out of mine, and he sank into the blue

who’ll be there to help you when you’re in need
who wants to help a heartless creep
when the cold wind start to blow
and the borders have been closed
where will you run, when the war comes

when the war comes
when the war comes
when the war comes
when the war comes
