lyrics
Tell me brother tell me are you looking around
Are we three feet from hell are we six under ground
‘Cause I can’t see through the fog and I can’t hear a sound
Except that radio blasting drowning us out
I can’t believe my eyes
This horror in disguise
Of course we didn’t know they’d have us lining up in rows
If you think you’ll take our lives like it don’t mean nothing to me
I’ve got news for you
I’ve got news for everybody
The dead have arrived on a train in the night
If by chance you survive you’ll be here till you die
As a child I could see all those things I would be
I was wild eyed and free what has happened to me
As a child I could see all those things I would be
I was wild eyed and free what has happened to me.
I can’t see the road from here
The woods at night have grown so cold
Much colder now
Fifteen days and miles to go
Gonna cross that line and tell them all
Tell your mothers and fathers
Your sisters and daughters
They've all got to stand up to sound that alarm
They are the saviors that we’ve waited for
Tell your mothers
Your fathers
Your sisters
The world
That I have seen what I have seen
Don’t you tell me no, you’ve not been where we’ve been
Smelled the smoke from the towers that poured black for hours
Scaring faces for generations
You should know, they wont be coming home.
I still scream in my sleep
I’m still there in my dreams
Every night when they lay down with me
Tell your mothers and fathers
Your sisters and daughters
That they are the saviors that we’ve waited for
Wont you stand up with me
Wont you scream I believe
We are all sons and daughters
Are we three feet from hell are we six under ground
‘Cause I can’t see through the fog and I can’t hear a sound
Except that radio blasting drowning us out
I can’t believe my eyes
This horror in disguise
Of course we didn’t know they’d have us lining up in rows
If you think you’ll take our lives like it don’t mean nothing to me
I’ve got news for you
I’ve got news for everybody
The dead have arrived on a train in the night
If by chance you survive you’ll be here till you die
As a child I could see all those things I would be
I was wild eyed and free what has happened to me
As a child I could see all those things I would be
I was wild eyed and free what has happened to me.
I can’t see the road from here
The woods at night have grown so cold
Much colder now
Fifteen days and miles to go
Gonna cross that line and tell them all
Tell your mothers and fathers
Your sisters and daughters
They've all got to stand up to sound that alarm
They are the saviors that we’ve waited for
Tell your mothers
Your fathers
Your sisters
The world
That I have seen what I have seen
Don’t you tell me no, you’ve not been where we’ve been
Smelled the smoke from the towers that poured black for hours
Scaring faces for generations
You should know, they wont be coming home.
I still scream in my sleep
I’m still there in my dreams
Every night when they lay down with me
Tell your mothers and fathers
Your sisters and daughters
That they are the saviors that we’ve waited for
Wont you stand up with me
Wont you scream I believe
We are all sons and daughters
