A Nightmare to Remember |
| A nightmare to remember |
| I’d never be the same |
| What began as laughter |
| So soon would turn to pain |
| The sky was clear and frigid |
| The air was thick and still |
| Now I’m not one to soon forget |
| And I bet I never will |
| Picture for a moment |
| The perfect irony |
| A flawless new beginning |
| Eclipsed by tragedy |
| The uninvited stranger |
| Started dancing on his own |
| So we said goodbye to the glowing bride |
| And we made our way back home |
| Life was so simple then |
| We were so innocent |
| Father and mother |
| Holding each other |
| Without warning |
| Out of nowhere |
| Like a bullet |
| From the night |
| Crushing glass |
| Rubber and steel |
| Scorching fire |
| Glowing lights |
| Screams of terror |
| Pain and fear |
| Sounds of sirens |
| Smoke in my eyes |
| Sudden stillness |
| Blackened silence |
| No more screaming |
| No more cries |
| Stunned and bewildered |
| Cold and afraid |
| Torn up and broken |
| Frightened and dazed |
| Stunned and bewildered |
| Cold and afraid |
| Torn up and broken |
| Frightened and dazed |
| Lying on the table in this unfamiliar place |
| I’m greeted by a stranger: a man without a face |
| He said, «Son, do you remember? |
| Do you even know your name?» |
| Then he shined a light into my eyes |
| And said, «take this for the pain.» |
| Hopelessly drifting |
| Bathing in beautiful agony |
| I am endlessly falling |
| Lost in this wonderful misery |
| In peaceful sedation, I lay half awake |
| And all of the panic inside starts to fade |
| Hopelessly drifting |
| Bathing in beautiful agony |
| «Tell me does this hurt you?» |
| Said the faceless man |
| «Can you move all of your fingers? |
| Can you try your best to stand?» |
| I asked about the others, «Is everyone okay?» |
| He told me not to worry as he turned and looked away |
| Hopelessly drifting |
| Bathing in beautiful agony |
| I am endlessly falling |
| Lost in this wonderful misery |
| In peaceful sedation, I lay half awake |
| And all of the panic inside starts to fade |
| Hopelessly drifting |
| Bathing in beautiful agony |
| Day after day and night after night |
| Replaying the events, did they ever see the red light? |
| Over and over, scene by scene |
| Like a recurring nightmare haunting my dreams |
| How can you prepare for what would happen next? |
| No son should ever have to see his father such a mess |
| It’s a miracle he lived, it’s a blessing no one died |
| By the Grace of God above, everyone survived |
| Life was so simple then |
| We were so innocent |
| It will stay with us forever |
| A nightmare to remember |
