Soaring into the skies
I fly with the birds of prey
I see the world through their eyes
I hear what they have to say
I fly through the clouds of fire
As they shower their hellish hail
The flames pour from the sky
And burn the world away
Pawns marching in line
The Masters hide away
The cannons start to fire
The same old story again
Through the smoke, I see the lies
My vision clears along the way
I'm staring at the battle lines
And I've been wide awake but blind
Scrambling through the tide
Of faceless crowds everyday
I see their paths on fire
As they try to get away
Fallen and left to die
The stench of death fills the air
The rivers glow red in the dark
On a world turned insane
I see their pain, I hear their cries
I see the hope as it fades away
Left are shells empty inside
And I've been wide awake but blind
Open your eyes and see
What lies underneath the peace
I see it all implode inside
I dream of them night and day
Silent screams and hopeless eyes
And I've been wide awake but blind
