Phinehas - I Saw The Bombs Fall lyrics

I awoke from a nightmare In a fit consciousness now Cold sweat and colder air Blinding flashes cast a shadow Before the sound hit the square The end of it all They kept it from your TV screens; A sleight of hand I dreamt of a lifeless rock; A cratered wasteland It’s not just an alternate reality I saw the bombs fall It’s not just overseas I saw the bombs fall Are we really that far away? Am I naive to think That this is only a dream? Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all? We lost our chance to rewrite history Rewrite history A path void of heroes The abysmal waste of what could have been Discerning only ones and zeros There’s no space between for them Peel back what covers your ears Hear that a nation is crying out for mercy (mercy) Before it’s too late for them to raise the sound Mercy Before it’s too late for them Mercy Are we really that far away? Am I naive to think That this is only a dream? Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all? We lost our chance We lost our chance to rewrite history Between the bodies in trenches and the blustery sky It’s not just overseas; I saw the bombs fall I saw the bombs fall
