Through the looking gla**
I watched in silence as we crumbled
Like ashes in a breeze fall apart
Bone and flesh reduced to dust lies before me
Within this moment I knew that I had changed forever
Unholy pa**ion of man's great loss was offered to us this day
As our anguish poured like rain, observant to my decay
May the torment I live through now, echo through eternity
Sing its song inside my mind, descend into memory
I remember the sound that their bodies made
As these gods of war were split in two before my eyes
And I can't save them all or speak of peace
The words that were ripped from my mouth
Echo blind in the moonlit sky as though
All the phrases know no bounds, no confines
Malice consuming
Though my hands are shaking
I slay them all with my hands
Just to put my soul at ease and rest
Through the violence I have seen
I've found a new understanding
Of how easily we can be broken
Through all these years
I've remained so silent
When I'm not strong enough
To run through the fire
Where the darkness lives on
In every moment here
They're taking my hand
I'll scream it out forever in d**h decide
Through all these years
I've remained so silent
When I'm not strong enough
To run through the fire
This is not compa**ion I seek
Words that become the essence of the anger I felt
Won't fade with time and decide
When life has ceased to set me free
I remain trapped inside the body of a broken man
And only here will waste away
With nothing but my memories to guide
Through the darkness of my mind
Will I find the answers to
Shine new light on my shattered world
And leave this earth behind
And only I know why
The pain that lasts a lifetimes
Will I be saved? Set free from life?
