I hear that sleep has family
A cousin it calls death
So in this knowledge find no solace
They come for us yet
I know I have a debt to pay
I thought up this travesty
The lights go out, our only way
Humanity in check
The horror, the guilt
What madness we built
If we had only known
If we had only seen
What now my eyes refuse to believe
If I could relive this time
I'd burn every design
And still my eyes will not believe
Only time will tell my freind
If we helped construct the end
History will tell
If it is kind to us
I know I have a debt to pay
I helped construct catastrophe
John, I know we lost our way
But there is still hope yet
The guilt, what madness have we built
If we had only known
If we had only seen
What now my eyes refuse to believe
If I could relive this time
I'd burn every design
And still my eyes will not believe
A hundred thousand screams
Made no sound
No valid answers could be found
This disillusioned victory
It became my defeat
I die today the hero
The villain in disguise
It's in my mind
I die today a coward
I die today a ghost
I die because I helped destroy
What we fought for most
If we had only known
If we had only seen
While my eyes will not believe
If I could relive this time
I'd burn every design
And still my eyes will
They will not believe the truth, the guilt
What madness have we built?
