Wrong Side Of Heaven

This 2014 song by Five Finger Death Punch expresses feelings of being lost and uncertain in the space between right and wrong. Although written in the perspective of a military veteran experiencing the effects of PTSD, the lyrics are very general and could apply to a wide variety of desperate situations in a show. There is a brief solo feature in the first section of the song, and the guitar is prominently featured in the heavy rock instrumentation.

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

I spoke to God today
And she said that she's ashamed
What have I become?
What have I done?
I spoke to the devil today
And he swears he's not to blame
And I understood
'Cause I feel the same

Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side of Hell
The wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side
The righteous side of Hell

I'm not defending
Downward descending
Falling further and further away
Closer every day

Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side of Hell

(Five Finger Death Punch)
