Verse 1
Under the shadows 

Of madness
A country is restless
Anxious
And impatient
Waiting for whatever
Is coming next
And wondering what
It is going to be
Fighting for longer than
Most of them even know
Tired of living
In a never ending
Freakshow
And waking up
To questions of
Oh what now
This needs to end
So we can start to
Get passed this
Somehow

Chorus
Empty eyes
Once compassionate
Now blank
And over it
Unflinching
But in pain
Dear God
We can't ever
Do this again

Verse 2
Madness that
Should have never been
Wars started
And conflict
That never truly
Meant a thing
Peace agreements
Used to play
Get things our way
When it was never
Meant to be our day
Countries in waiting
Years of fighting
Sick of their people dying
Do want to stop fighting
Can't even think about
Giving in
They need to win
To be able to live
Just to be free
Something has to give
Please just let them be

Chorus
