lyrics

Open your eyes and look all around you, and tell me what you see
As you close your eye , do they match what you see inside of your dream

If you try to run away it may still catch up to you
Let your fear be your strength
Unlike the slaughter of the innocents

Wake up and see
That now all of your dreams have become reality
Trust your instincts,
‘Cause it may all that you have left in this life

If you try to run away it may still catch up to you
Let your fear be your strength
Unlike the slaughter of the innocents

The world is self-destructing
The wind and rain
The sins of man will soon be extinct
To pave the way to a world that’s no more

Fire…rain…destruction…sadness

People are dying, children are crying
The stench in the air that you’ll never forget in this life
You’re left all alone, with nowhere to run
Is this the apocalypse
Only the strong will survive

Fire…rain…destruction…sadness

In this world of evil and sin
There is no way to turn back the past
Forcing myself to accept my fate
Is there a better life that I once dreamed of
Governments’ failure to protect
Warfare and experiments on all but them
Why must we suffer because of their mistakes
Is it inevitable, the slaughter of innocents
