Faces Of War

A bright day
The light streams into my eyes
As I awake from dreams
To come true someday

With hazy vision
Came a bewilderment of terror
As I look out my window

My family being chased
By blood stained minds
Screaming and shouting
Bullets rip through their bodies

A torrent of panic consumes me
As I began to grab everything I can
For this will be the last time I see my home

Faces of war
It can change any good man
Into a power consuming monster
Never bothered by the fact
that they are destroying themselves
and everything around them

The awe of seeing a city
For the first time
Was quickly diminished
By the pummel of shoulders
Thrashing me back and fourth

With so many people and constant movement
how can such a lively environment
Can leave one feeling alone

Faces of war
It can change any good man
Into a power consuming monster
Never bothered by the fact
that they are destroying themselves
and everything around them

Forever foraging a nightmare
To create darkness
As dark as everything that they have lost inside

Oh
Why can't I go back to those dreams?
Those dreams where my heart lies
Dreams where peace and happiness was understood
Instead I am trapped in this nightmare

Faces of war
It can change any good man
Into a power consuming monster
Never bothered by the fact
that they are destroying themselves
and everything around them

Forever foraging a nightmare
To create darkness
As dark as everything that they have lost inside
