In My Dreams

They fall around me, tsunami, the waves of my dreams
They crash from the sky, kamikaze, heading for me

Nightmares of darkness seal my fate
An evil world my mind creates

As a single bomber flies
It seems I'm looking through his eyes
In my dreams

The visions cloudy, the trigger held tight
My hands are sweating, it's so cold at night

Nightmares try tightening my grip
My sweating hands begin to slip
Bomb bay doors burst open wide
And as I scream I close my eyes
In my dreams

Open my eyes on the hills of troy
A message of peace in the hands of a boy
We find him dead, cut all apart
Human the savage, it tears me apart

Armies advancing, swords they bare
Savage they slaughter, blood everywhere
A note with the answer blows in the wind
War's not the answer, it's just a sin

The frozen shore of normandy
Open my eyes, here's what I see
A thousand men, blood filled the shore
Transport hits the beach, bursts open the door

In less than a moment, machine guns flare
The sound of the bullets, our flesh they tear
The screams of the dying, sand fills their graves
Silence their crying, blood crash the waves
I close my eyes, it don't go away

A silent viper in a veil of night
In vain, I struggle, hands tremble with fright

Nightmares put pressure on the stick
A slip, the red light starts to blink
Bright, pulsating through my brain
A voice shouts orders so insane
In my dreams

Why do I wake screaming?
There's no survivor's the world's in flames
Nothing left living, man's to blame
A man with the answer soars in the wind
Thinks war should end, not begin

In the early wars of a nuclear age
Man held the power, but he used it in rage
Incensed with war, did his mind contort
That he built a million bombs, left to tear us apart

The future lies with you, don't you dare
Allow this to happen or I swear
One push of a button, it'll blow you away
For God, he still loves you, don't throw it away
What else can I say

Again the order, I won't let go
They switch to auto, and I've no control

My hands from the stick now slides
Quick to my gun, the bullets ride
The console smokes, the voice no more
The brave die once, of this I'm sure
In my dreams
