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?
