Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I hear the sound of the bombs in the distance
I see the light of the missiles in the sky
I feel the heat of the sand of the desert
Out in the street, there is danger everywhere
(Verse 2)
We live in times when the truth is hard to picture
A change of mind making truth so hard to find
My heart is aching, my head's about to spin
My body's shaking--there's a fever in the wind
Can't help it, can't help it
It's all I see, it's all I know
Can't stop it, can't stop it
The fire rages down below
No mercy, no warning
The sky is burning in my eyes
Can't help it, can't help it
I'm just trying to survive
*(Verse 3)
Footsteps echo in the valley of the shadow
Smoke is rising like a ghost into the night
I whisper prayers but I don't know if they're heard
I hold my breath, keep my hands wrapped 'round my pride
I was told that we'd be fighting for a reason
Now the faces start to blur into the dust
Was it all just a lie, was it worth all the bleeding?
Does the enemy look just like one of us?
Can't help it, can't help it
It's all I see, it's all I know
Can't stop it, can't stop it
The fire rages down below
No mercy, no warning
The sky is burning in my eyes
Can't help it, can't help it
I'm just trying to survive
I hear the sound of the bombs up in the distance...
I see the light of the missiles in the sky...
I feel the heat of the sand of the painted desert...
Out in the street, there is danger everywhere...
