Ticket to Heaven Video (MV)

Comes a time in every man's life
When he's got to put down the sword
When he's fought too far into the night
Now he tends his wounds and sores
And sits by the fire with a stick in the sand
And tallies up the score

And when the morning light finally comes
And the missing are found or dead
All that remains are the losses and gains
And an aching in his head
And where the vanquished enemy laid
There's a new danger instead

Oh I need a ticket to heaven
Give me a seat by the window on flight seven
I think it's time that I realised
That I'm just a mortal man
Oh if I turn back a page or two
Some distant childhood comes into view
Seems so long ago in the blink of an eye
Have I done all I can

It used to be part of every man
To carry his sword and shield
Each human was a war machine
As he strode onto the field
But Nagasaki remembers the dawn of an age
When nightmares were finally real

I dreamed they rounded everybody up
And put the wrong ones in a cage
But I couldn't decide if I was in or out
Or what they meant by the coming age
Now I look to the sky for answers
And men are no longer real

Oh I need a ticket to heaven
Give me a seat by the window on flight seven
I think it's time that I realised
That I'm just a mortal man
Oh if I turn back a page or two
Some distant childhood comes into view
Seems so long ago in the blink of an eye
Have I done all I can
