I Saw the Bombs Fall Songtext
von Phinehas

I awoke from a nightmare
In a fit, consciousness 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
A sleight of hand
But 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?
Am I naive to think
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 no 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 a sound

Mercy
Before it's too late for them
Mercy

Are we really that far away?
Am I naive to think
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 in trenches and the blistering sky
It′s not just overseas
I saw the bombs fall
I saw the bombs fall
