visions

-------

sleeping children all oblivious of,

the world around them, coming to an end.

visions of flaming skies, and falling bodies.

blood and flesh, filling all their memories.

torn to insanity and denied freedom,

for all their days, spending life like a ghost.

the fallen voices they whisper to me.

tell me nothing, but tell me more than enough.

[chorus]

and if i could tell you what im seeing,

i know you wont believe.

if i told you i was sorry,

im sure my life would change.

but until i've told my story,

ill just sit inside these...

visions,

of the end.

[bridge]

the children wake up and act like nothing,

become nothing, future of nothing.

visions eating at the back of their eyes,

no more blue skies, only darkness.

lost inside their very own creation,

dreams of the end, thinking of a way out.

so sorry, but i left them on their own,

all alone, ready to give in.

[chorus]

and if i could tell you what im seeing,

i know you wont believe.

if i told you i was sorry,

i know my life would change.

but until i've said im sorry,

ill just sit inside these...

visions,

of the end.

they beckon,

to me.

[solo]

a million soldiers marching to the frontline,

for the children, for their families.

wasted talent, and wasted years.

trained to slaughter, and trained to end lives.

what they dont know is they show the children,

the very visions, that keep them up at night.

losing sight of the monsters they are,

the children monsters, dream and dream and dream.

looking forward to the day of freedom.

the demons inside them, conquer their innocent souls.

blood and murder becomes motivation,

to end the lives of, children just like them.

[chorus]

and if i could tell you what im seeing,

i know you wont believe.

if i told you i was sorry,

im sure my life would change.

but until i've told my story,

ill just sit inside my mind.

worried for my future,

what have i become.

i taugh them how to murder,

taught them how to steal.

surely i am dreaming,

this cant possibly...

be real,

visions.

[solo]

but if i could fix my mistake,

i would not hesitate.

im sorry for the things i create,

but i'd hate for it to be destroyed.

[bridge]

every child has a different purpose,

some are monsters, but all are blessings.

all around us the world is changing.

taking control, making visions reality.

so sorry child, but today i leave you.

find your purpose, kill the monarch.
