I go to bed so fearful
I wake up so tearful
Don't want to see those flowers of yours bloom
I have children you see
And I love my family
I don't want to know that they're all doomed

So what gives you the right
To cloak the world in night
And set a dying wreath upon our tomb
Please don't cross that line
Please don't cross that line
Please don't cross that line
Just let the daylight shine

To see the rockets fall
In blinding flashes all
Where everything I love will be consumed
The power that it brings
To which your dirty fingers cling
Means nothing to those alive nor in the womb

So what gives you the right
To cloak the world in night
And set a dying wreath upon our tomb
Please don't cross that line
Please don't cross that line
Please don't cross that line
Just let the daylight shine

The world should only be over
When the sun goes supernova
And not burnt on the whim
Of one whose ego matters more to him
Than all the lives you disrespect
Who it should be your duty to protect
Not destroy while you stand so proud
In the shadow of a mushroom cloud
But would press the button and then hunker
Down inside a concrete bunker
To emerge when entire nations
Are engulfed by the conflagrations
And if this is what goes through your mind
I don't trust you not to cross that line

So what gives you the right
To cloak the world in night
And set a burning wreath upon our tomb
Please don't cross that line
Don't you cross that line
Don't you cross that line
Just let the daylight shine

Oh you're all the same
Leaders just in name
Tyrants, despots, dictators, all fools
As you try to shape the world
With your hellish flags unfurled
You're creatures of my nightmares, demons, ghouls

So what gives you the right
To cloak the world in night
And set a burning wreath upon our tomb
Please don't cross that line
Don't you cross that line
Don't you cross that line
Just let the daylight shine
