Will we see each other After all this is over? Will we find in each other's eyes All the truths beneath our lies? When all the sky's a deeper red And all our loved ones have dropped dead Will our pain help us understand All the blood that soaks our hands? Have all the deaths turned out worthwhile Just to see our children laugh and smile? Each step they take had cost a life Someone's father, their lover or wife Do our tears make up for it all? For how swiftly we caused them to fall? Their dying screams that haunt our sleep Are all we have of them to keep

It comes in waves Hitting harder each time Pulling back for strength Then charging like soldiers in line It is never still It is never calm It is a live grenade Sitting on my palm And though I wish to face it I know I'll only drown For each time that I jump up I will eventually fall down
