I Saw the Bombs Fall |
I awoke from a nightmare |
In a fit, conscious yet slow |
Cold sweat and colder air |
Blinding flashes cast a shadow |
Before the sound hit the square |
The end of it all |
They kept you from your TV screens |
With sleight of hand |
I dreamt of a lifeless rock |
A cratered wasteland |
It’s not just an alternate reality |
I saw the bombs fall |
It’s not just overseas |
I saw the bombs fall |
Are we really that far away? |
I might not live to see |
That this is only a dream |
Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all? |
We lost our chance to rewrite history |
Rewrite history |
A path void of heroes |
The abysmal waste of what could have been |
Discerning only ones and zeroes |
There’s still space between for them |
Peel back what covers your ears |
Hear that a nation is crying out for mercy |
Mercy |
Before it’s too late for them |
To raise us up |
Mercy |
Before it’s too late for them |
Mercy |
Are we really that far away? |
I might not live to see |
That this is only a dream |
Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all? |
We lost our chance |
We lost our chance to rewrite history |
Between the bodies and trenches and the blistering sky |
It’s not just overseas |
I saw the bombs fall |
I saw the bombs fall |
