Feel the heat intensify
Steel piercing the skin
Sky on fire electrified
War inside begins
Wrought with guilt abandoning
Comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me
Broken, sick I feel
What of the dreams?
A haunting curse
Toxic and bleak
I'm getting worse
Dead inside
Though I’ve tried
I know I am
A broken man
Swaying, praying
Trying to escape
Laughing, crying
More than one can take
Haunting, taunting
Will not let me be
Hypnotizing
And not letting go of me
Stranglehold
Dreams unfold, helpless
Can’t break free
Memories
Blood-red sky
Rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside
Senseless tragedy
Shock and awe
Numb and raw
Suffocating me
Nightmare
Will this never end?
Flashback
I'm unravelling
Misery
Can’t break free
Wasted lives
Cast aside
What of the dreams?
A haunting curse
Toxic and bleak
I'm getting worse
Dead inside
Thought I’ve tried
I know I am
A broken man
What of the dreams?
What can I learn?
Nor can erase
Forever burn
What of the dreams?
Inflamed and torn
And now I wish I had never been born
All is lost
I’ve done all I can, I swear
This cross is mine to bare
Broken man
Only one remedy
He waits patiently
Peaceful and free
For eternity
