Michael Kiske Lyrics
"When You're Down On You're Knees That..."

WHEN YOU'RE DOWN ON YOU'RE KNEES THAT WHEN YOU'RE CLOSEST TO HEAVEN

I don't believe what you're saying

I don't believe a word

You never did anything that was true

And hate will be your final work

I wouldn't dance at your party

No, I wouldn't risk a dance

And for the rest of my time

I will keep it mind

I will look at your life and will find:

When you're down on your knees

That's when you're closest to heaven

I don't believe when you're smiling

I don't believe in your mask

You hardly say anything you don't use

All your life is a lie at it's best

Your love means never another

Is there anything left that is true?

You will end all alone

With no peace of your own

'Cause the god of love you've never known!

When you're down on your knees

That's when you're closest to heaven

I guess you'll never get it

You'll never regret all the broken hearts

You've left behind

If there's one thing that you'll never find -

It's a peace of mind

There's always one a lonely street

Walking his way to the sun

There's always one

That takes the whole world's greed

All on his back and it's done

And ever since the world's turning

There's always a fool that is leading the blind

If there's one thing that you'll never find -

It's a peae of mind

Your thoughts are so low it's a shame

That's why for you everyone else is low

People see life through the glass in their hearts

So the fruits of your doings do show

In this world it all could mean maybe

But on the other side you'll hear it loud

I know time clears the clouds

One day you won't walk so proud

It will all be revealed there's no doubt

'Cause when you're down on your knees

That's when you're closest to heaven

When you're down on your knees

That's when you're closest to heaven
