Lyrics:

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Did you ever feel the pain

That he felt upon the cross

Did you ever feel the knife

Tearing flesh that's oh so soft



Did you ever touch the night

Did you ever count the cost

Do you hide away the fear

Put down paradise as lost



Yeah you're blinded by rainbows

Watching the wind blow

Blinded by rainbows

Do you dream at night

Do you sleep at night

I doubt it



Did you ever feel the blast

As the semtex bomb goes off

Do you ever hear the screams

As the limbs are all torn off

Did you ever kiss the child

Who just saw his father shot

Do you ever shed a tear

As the war drags on and on



Do you ever touch the night

Or is it just another job

Do you feel the final hours

Put down paradise as lost



Yeah you're blinded by rainbows

And faces in windows

Blinded by rainbows

Do you dream at night

Do you sleep at night

I doubt it



Do you ever fear the night

Could it be the war is lost

Do you fear the final hour

Do you kneel before the cross



You're blinded by rainbows

And watching the wind blow

Blinded by rainbows

Do you dream at night

Do you scream at night

Do you smell of fear

Is your conscience clear

Are you caked in sweat



Are your clothes all wet

Do you see the light

Is the end in sight

See the face of Christ

Enter paradise

I doubt it
