Visions

I was a captain
In the state of my decision
And so many backed it
And I led them all astray
I was the anger that sprouted from the fear
I was singer that no one could hear
I was the outlaw
With a gun by my side
I was the badge with no hope in my eyes
I was the man who laid down and died
I was the woman shot dead in the night

And all these visions
Cloud my head
Dreams and nightmares
No one gets
But will they take me far from this
All these dreams all this bloodshed

When will the time come
Their bloods crying out and I still
Just can't seem to understand
Why won't they listen
How many visions
Must we be shown
Before we break our bands
Before we break our bands

I was the mother
Separated from
The one I brough into this world
Oh, why'd they take my little girl
I was the daughter
Frightened and scared
Cold, sad, and alone
Is there anyone there

I was the man who led my country to war
Against themselves
They have so much hate
So I'll give them more
And I saw the woman
Sitting in the clouds
Why was she laughing
With all this fire raining down

When will the time come
Their bloods crying out and I still
Just can't seem to understand

We are so different
But we're still the same
You are my brother
I will say your name
You are my mother, daughter,
Father and son
And we need each other
Just like those devils need us

And all these visions
Cloud my head
Dreams and nightmares
No one gets
But will they take me far from this
All these dreams all this bloodshed

When will the time come
Their bloods crying out and I still
Just can't seem to understand
Why won't they listen
How many visions
Must we be shown
Before we break our bands
Before we break our bands
Before we break our bands
Before we break our bands
Oh...
