We were watching as the buildings fell

And the ground folded

Minutes passed and the destruction was over

Dust and rubble fill the stagnant air

Blotting out the sun

The beauty lost in moments as the wars begun

Something isn't right

There's always more to any fight

Losers pay with life and limb

Is this the price when others win?

Pages show the human plight

Ignores the past for present sight

No one sees the other side

Trapped within the hopeless lies

Drowning in the wading pool

We were watching as the waters flowed

And the sky darkened

Hours passed as the plains turned to oceans

Sound and fury thundered in the air

Can't tell day from night

Wallowing in pity at our lack of insight

Something isn't right

There's always more to any fight

Losers pay with life and limb

Is this the price when others win?

Pages show the human plight

Ignores the past for present sight

No one sees the other side

Trapped within the hopeless lies

Drowning in the wading pool

Drowning in the wading pool

[Instrumental Break]

Something isn't right

There's always more to any fight

Losers pay with life and limb

Is this the price when others win?

Pages show the human plight

Ignores the past for present sight

No one sees the other side

Trapped within the hopeless lies

Drowning in the wading

Drowning in the wading

Drowning in the wading pool
