[Lyric] I Saw the Bombs Fall (Phinehas)

[Verse 1]
I awoke from a nightmare
In a fit consciousness now
Cold sweat and colder air
Blinding flashes cast a shadow
Before the sound hit the square
The end of it all

They kept it from your TV screens; A sleight of hand
I dreamt of a lifeless rock; A cratered wasteland

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not just an alternate reality
I saw the bombs fall
It’s not just overseas
I saw the bombs fall

[Chorus]
Are we really that far away?
Am I naive to think
That this is only a dream?
Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all?
We lost our chance to rewrite history
Rewrite history
[Verse 2]
A path void of heroes
The abysmal waste of what could have been
Discerning only ones and zeros
There’s no space between for them

[Breakdown]
Peel back what covers your ears
Hear that a nation is crying out for mercy (Mercy)
Before it’s too late for them to raise the sound
Mercy
Before it’s too late for them
Mercy

[Pre-Chorus]
Are we really that far away?
Am I naive to think
That this is only a dream?
Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all?
We lost our chance
We lost our chance to rewrite history

[Ending]
Between the bodies in trenches and the blustery sky
It’s not just overseas; I saw the bombs fall
I saw the bombs fall
