A nightmare to remember I'll never be the same what began as laughter So soon would turn to pain
The sky was clear and pretty The air was thick and still Now I'm not one to soon forget And I bet I never will
Picked up 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 Crashing fast rubber and steel Scorching fire glowing light
Screams of terror pain of fear Sound of sirens smoke in my eyes Silent stillness blackened silence No more screaming no more cries
Starved and bewildered cold and afraid Torn up and broken frightened and dazed Starved 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, so 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 We play out the events did they ever see the red light? Over and over, scene by scene like a reoccuring 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 HUUUUUUOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!
Life was so simple then We were so innocent It will stay with us forever A nightmare to remember
