[Verse 1]

Violent spinning darkness

Disaster unrestrained

Whispers of the ravaged

Lost behind the rain

He lands among the fallen

Pushes out an empty hand

Shuts his eyes and turns away

Screaming out against the end


[Pre-Chorus]

And tonight I cannot rest because I ache

Tomorrow brings the agony of day

To sleep, perchance to dream, of all that's lost

And all the things we'll never get to say


[Chorus]

In the echoes of anger

Brought from silence too late

In this moment of disaster

There's a clarity to hate


[Verse 2]

And now his days are empty

Lonely, lost, and grey

She spends too many hours

Just trying not to break

Down before the others

Who will never know their pain

Or the endless years of nightmares

That never go away


[Pre-Chorus]

And tonight I cannot rest because I ache

Tomorrow brings the agony of day

To sleep, perchance to dream, of all that's lost

And all the things we'll never get to say


[Chorus]

In the echoes of anger

Brought from silence too late

In this moment of disaster

There's a clarity to hate


[Bridge]

Why?

Wn't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Won't someone tell me why?

Why?


[Outro]

And I hate to remember, but I can't forget

And I hate to remember, I just can't forget

And I hate to remember, this is all I have left

And I hate to remember, 'cause I'm tired of this shit and I ache
