Every Breath lyrics

Through the sites seen

Like an actor upon a stage

A hostile tragedy to view

Depersonified in irony

The world around blurs

All the sounds and actions

Centered to one mind

One action to perform

All that was taught ago

Things of right and wrong

They vanish at that moment

A trigger pulled, it is done

The numbness goes on

Unfeeling, devoid of life

Dead like the enemy vague

A breathing hulk left done

You can never go back

Disassociated yet again

From the world once known

Disillusioned, derelict

All of them remembered

Nameless forms militant

A culmination of plights

Carried in every breath

Emotions played no role

Turned off for distance

No hatred, no nation grand

Just a pop-up target there

In those days that came

Triggers squeezed reopen

The unseen wounds bleed

Periodic pains impending

Between personal control

Conditioning repression

The animal that appeared

Keeps humanity at bay

Awakening the beast within

A realization ugly lived

Most men never truly know

Or then live with themselves
