|
A nightmare to remember, I'd never be the same |
|
What began as laughter so soon would turn to pain |
|
The sky was clear and frigid, the air was thick and still |
|
Now I'm not one to soon forget and I bet I never will |
|
Picture for a moment the perfect irony |
|
A flawless new beginning eclipsed by tragedy |
|
The uninvited stranger started dancing on his own |
|
So we said goodbye to the glowing bride |
|
And we made our way back home |
|
Life was so simple then, we were so innocent |
|
Father and mother holding each other |
|
Without warning out of nowhere |
|
Like a bullet from the night |
|
Crushing glass, rubber and steel |
|
Scorching fire, glowing light |
|
Screams of terror, pain of fear |
|
Sound of sirens, smoke in my eyes |
|
Sudden stillness, blackened silence |
|
No more screaming, no more cries |
|
Stunned and bewildered, cold and afraid |
|
Torn up and broken, frightened and dazed |
|
Stunned and bewildered, cold and afraid |
|
Torn up and broken, frightened and dazed |
|
Lying on the table in this unfamiliar place |
|
I'm greeted by a stranger, a man without a face |
|
He said, "Son, do you remember? Do you even know your name?" |
|
Then he shined a light into my eyes |
|
And said, "Take this for the pain" |
|
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony |
|
I am endlessly falling lost in this wonderful misery |
|
In peaceful sedation I lay half awake |
|
And all of the panic inside starts to fade |
|
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony |
|
"Tell me does this hurt you?", said the faceless man |
|
Can you move all of your fingers? Can you try your best to stand? |
|
I asked about the others, is everyone okay? |
|
He told me not to worry as he turned and looked away |
|
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony |
|
I am endlessly falling lost in this wonderful misery |
|
In peaceful sedation I lay half awake |
|
And all of the panic inside starts to fade |
|
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony |
|
Day after day and night after night |
|
Replaying the events, did they ever see the red light? |
|
Over and over, scene by scene |
|
Like a reoccurring nightmare haunting my dreams |
|
How can you prepare for what would happened next? |
|
No son should ever have to see his father such a mess |
|
It's a miracle he lived, it's a blessing no one died |
|
By the grace of God above everyone survived |
|
Life was so simple then, we were so innocent |
|
It will stay with us forever, a nightmare to remember |
