I am still ten thousand miles away In the eye of my broken mind I woke that night and cried out I saw you running through the flames I knew that you were gone forever
I've lain down my weapons I'll take part in this no more I turn my back to all of this Though they stabbed me with the scorn The choice was never mine to make Why did it have to end up here
It is well that war is so terrible Yet we seem to love it so The eternal insane cycle Can't we ever break it's toll Do you hear these words when I cry out loud? Never giving in your own free will It is well that war is so terrible 'Cause only the dead have seen the end of war
I've seen the darkened anger Steal the sight from searching eyes The bloodstained flags and hollow words It's how they keep us blind The things I've seen The things I've done The ones I've killed will haunt me forever
Blood rushes to the ground A widow weeps, there's no sadder sound We go for darkness and despair Imprisoned within my own mind If all guns once were silenced Would we have killed what was left inside?
It is well that war is so terrible Yet we seem to love it so The eternal insane cycle Can't we ever break it's toll Do you hear these words when I cry out loud? Never giving in your own free will It is well that war is so terrible 'Cause only the dead have seen the end of war
