A Broken Man
Feel the heat intensify, steel piercing the skin
Sky on fire electrified, war inside begins
Wrought with guilt, abandoning comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me: broken, sick, I feel
What of the dreams? A haunted curse
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
Swaying, praying, trying to escape
Laughing, crying, more than one can take
Haunting, taunting, will not let me be
Hypnotizing and not letting go of me
Stranglehold, dreams unfold; helpless, can't break free
Memories, blood-red sky, rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside, senseless tragedy
Shock and awe, numb and raw, suffocating me
Nightmare! Will this never end?
Flashback! I'm unraveling
Misery can't break free
Wasted lives cast aside
What of the dreams? A haunted curse
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
What of the dreams, what can I learn?
Nor can erase, forever burn
What of the dreams, inflamed and torn?
And now I wish I had never been born
All is lost, I've done all I can I swear
This cross is mine to bear
Broken man, only one remedy
He waits patiently, peaceful and free
For eternity
Sky on fire electrified, war inside begins
Wrought with guilt, abandoning comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me: broken, sick, I feel
What of the dreams? A haunted curse
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
Swaying, praying, trying to escape
Laughing, crying, more than one can take
Haunting, taunting, will not let me be
Hypnotizing and not letting go of me
Stranglehold, dreams unfold; helpless, can't break free
Memories, blood-red sky, rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside, senseless tragedy
Shock and awe, numb and raw, suffocating me
Nightmare! Will this never end?
Flashback! I'm unraveling
Misery can't break free
Wasted lives cast aside
What of the dreams? A haunted curse
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
What of the dreams, what can I learn?
Nor can erase, forever burn
What of the dreams, inflamed and torn?
And now I wish I had never been born
All is lost, I've done all I can I swear
This cross is mine to bear
Broken man, only one remedy
He waits patiently, peaceful and free
For eternity
