Heaven Help The Devil Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Heaven Help The Devil Lyrics

    In this land of chance do we know right from wrong
    Even at a glance we know the road is long
    We don't owe a single thing to anyone
    Most of us do not believe in come what may
    Everything we fought for was in vain they say
    Even when called upon to throw our lives away

    We have been captured by the thieves of the night
    Held for ransom if you please
    Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories

    In these times of trial and uncertainty
    I have thought what does this freedom mean to me
    Is it just some long forgotten fantasy

    Our love for each other may not be explained
    We live in a world where tears must fall like rain
    Most of us don't wish to cause each other pain

    We have been captured by the thieves of the night
    Held for ransom if you please
    Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories

    To every unsung hero in the universe
    To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth
    To all good men of reason may they never thirst

    We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea
    And faith that will remain through all eternity
    We try to be helpful to the ones in need

    We have been captured by the thieves of the night
    Held for ransom if you please
    Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories
