Let me dream!

I saw them crying
Yes, I saw them scream
I saw them letting it all go
I saw the bodies flow down the stream

Looking up for help,
I saw the fears in their eyes
I saw the smoke of the ashes
I saw them rise to the skies

I saw the holes in them
Yes, I saw your madness
I saw your truth, your lies
I saw through you, more or less

I cannot take this nightmare
Have I been awake too long?
As you wreck all their dreams
Can I get out of your vise strong?

I don't want any part of this insanity
I don't want to hear that guttural scream
At the end of the fear, where there is love
I want to close my eyes; just let me dream!
