Lyrics[]
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 "Suffering, suffering inside and shaking I'm sweating at night Just trying to find an answer To feel comfortable with, what, um Like, what did I witness?" 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 bear Broken man Only one remedy He waits patiently Peaceful and free For eternity
