[02:20.10] A nightmare to remember
[02:23.57] I'll never be the same
[02:25.97] What began as laughter
[02:28.77] So soon will turn to pain
[02:31.67] The sky was clear and pretty
[02:34.36] The air was thick and still
[02:37.30] Now I'm not one to soon forget
[02:40.51] And I'll bet I never will
[02:54.81] Picture for a moment
[02:57.38] The perfect irony
[03:00.27] A flawless new beginning
[03:02.95] Eclipsed by tragedy
[03:05.98] The uninvited stranger
[03:08.56] Started dancing on his own
[03:11.49] So we said goodbye to the growing pride
[03:14.19] And we made our way back home
[03:17.46] Life was so simple then
[03:24.66] We were so innocent
[03:31.89] Father and mother
[03:39.10] Holding each other
[04:00.41] Without warning, out of nowhere
[04:03.79] Like a bullet, from the night
[04:07.65] Crashing glass, rubber and steel
[04:11.10] Scorching fire, glowing light
[04:14.28] Screams of terror, pain of fear
[04:17.70] Sounds of silence, smoke in my eyes
[04:21.19] Silent stillness, blackened silence
[04:24.67] No more screaming, no more cries
[04:28.60][04:42.13] Stunned and bewildered
[04:31.49][04:45.68] Cold and afraid
[04:35.12][04:49.23] Torn up and broken
[04:38.68][04:52.76] Frightened and dazed
[05:46.10] Lying on the table, in some familiar place
[05:53.21] I'm greeted by a stranger, a man without a face
[06:00.26] He said "Son, do you remember, do you even know your name?"
[06:07.19] Then he shined a light into my eyes and said "Take this for the pain"
[06:35.89] Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[06:45.62] I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery
[06:56.92] In peaceful sedation I lay half awake
[07:02.40] And all of the panic inside starts to fade
[07:07.70] Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[07:29.28] "Tell me does this hurt you?" said the faceless man “
[07:36.56] "Can you move all of your fingers, can you try your best to stand?" “
[07:41.97] I asked about the others "Is everyone okay?"
[07:47.56] He told me not to worry, as he turned and looked away
[07:53.82] Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[08:02.70] I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery
[08:13.59] In peaceful sedation I lay half awake
[08:18.64] And all of the panic inside starts to fade
[08:23.67] Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[11:19.18] Day after day, and night after night
[11:22.70] We play out the events, did they ever see the red light?
[11:26.81] Over and over, scene by scene
[11:30.20] Like a recurring nightmare, haunted by dreams
[11:34.45] How can you prepare, for what would happen next?
[11:37.92] No son should ever have to see his father in such a mess
[11:41.67] It's a miracle he lived, it's a blessing no one died
[11:45.40] By the grace of god above, everyone survived
[11:49.23] Hooouh!!
[13:17.91] Life was so simple then
[13:24.52] We were so innocent
[13:31.78] It will stay with us forever
[13:39.80] A nightmare to remember
[02:20.10] A nightmare to remember
[02:23.57] I' ll never be the same
[02:25.97] What began as laughter
[02:28.77] So soon will turn to pain
[02:31.67] The sky was clear and pretty
[02:34.36] The air was thick and still
[02:37.30] Now I' m not one to soon forget
