Lyrics
Verse 1]
I went to bed one night, felt the world was fine,
Wrapped in my blanket, safe within my mind.
But morning broke, with news we're at war,
It happened in the night decided by our Czar.
[Pre-Chorus]
Congress woke to the news, they didn't even know,
They're supposed to decide but it wasn't theirs to choose.
[Chorus]
American planes shot down from friendly fire,
Children could be seen on the funeral pyre;
Leaders lost in power, who wears the crown of rights?
Armageddon whispers soft in the sleepless nights.
[Verse 2]
Do we have the right to play God with fate?
A bomb drops like a promise, oh is this our state?
We grieve for lost tomorrows, with only tears to show,
Fingers point like arrows, but we're all feeling low.
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of the past, haunting in the air,
War cries mix with sorrow, it's hard to bear.
[Chorus]
American troops already lost, no longer in our fold,
Schoolyards filled with silence, this truth feels old.
Wrath of an angry leader, do we justify the cost?
Armageddon whispers softly, much more than just a loss.
[Bridge]
Is this the end now? Are we blind to see,
The signs that guide our journey through uncertainty?
Each choice a heavy weight, every breath we take,
What's the price of silence, how long will it break?
[Chorus]
American planes and troops on foreign soil again,
School bells ring for memories that we silently keep.
A call for compassion echoes through this night,
Armageddon waits in shadows, waiting for the light.
[Outro]
So I went to bed one night, safe within my dreams,
Awakened with a heart heavy, unraveling at the seams.
Are we at the end now, just lost in the fight?
Echoes of a war, haunting deep in the night.
