Heaven’s Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Anchor the night, open the sky
Hide in the hours before sunrise
Pray for me not, I won't lose sight
Of where I belong and where you lie

[Chorus]
Well, Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had

[Verse 2]
Shipwreck the sun, well, I'm on your side
An army of one, onward we will ride
Whisper your songs, birds to the air
We'll bury all of our burdens there

[Chorus]
Well, Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
[Bridge]
For the best time you had
Best time you had
Heaven's dead when you get sad

[Chorus]
Well, Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had

[Verse 3]
I'll take it all, arrows or guns
Hundreds more to save you from one
To save you from one
To save you from one
To save you from one
Heaven's dead when you get sad

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
