In this room full of people   I am still ten thousand miles away   In the eye of my broken mind   I woke that night and cried out   I saw you running through the flames   I knew that you were gone forever      I've lain down my weapons   I'll take part in this no more   I turn my back to all of this   Though they stabbed me with the scorn   The choice was never mine to make   Why did it have to end up here      It is well that war is so terrible   Yet we seem to love it so   The eternal insane cycle   Can't we ever break it's toll   Do you hear these words when I cry out loud?   Never giving in your own free will   It is well that war is so terrible   'Cause only the dead have seen the end of war      I've seen the darkened anger   Steal the sight from searching eyes   The bloodstained flags and hollow words   It's how they keep us blind   The things I've seen   The things I've done   The ones I've killed will haunt me forever      Blood rushes to the ground   A widow weeps, there's no sadder sound   We go for darkness and despair   Imprisoned within my own mind   If all guns once were silenced   Would we have killed what was left inside?      It is well that war is so terrible   Yet we seem to love it so   The eternal insane cycle   Can't we ever break it's toll   Do you hear these words when I cry out loud?   Never giving in your own free will   It is well that war is so terrible   'Cause only the dead have seen the end of war
