Beautiful Disaster

What do you feel
when another siren screams
Fear attacks
like a heart grenade
Ignited in the deepest hour
A child cries, kidnapped
from their innocent dreams
Prayers drowned by the fusillade
Trembling in the dark
Tell me,
is it worth the sacrifice
Tell me, is it worth your life
We fight in the dead of night
In the dead of night,
While the world is blinded
until the early light
We cry in the heat of night
In the heat of night,
Tell me what remains of us
in the morning after
A beautiful disaster
Tell me
What do you feel
when they try to show you
Destruction is your destiny
No choice but to take the pledge
In their eyes,
a determined sense of virtue
But you know
it's far from reality
Standing on the edge
Tell me, is it worth the agony
Tell me, is it worth your life
We fight in the dead of night
In the dead of night,
While the world is blinded
until the early light
We cry in the heat of night
In the heat of night,
Tell me what remains of us
in the morning after

We take a life,
when we could save one another
We pay a price,
for the power bestowed upon
our hands
But in the end,
we believe in a single purpose
We all believe
in the light ahead,
in the life beyond this fight

In the dead of night
In the dead of night,
I will pray beside you,
until the early light
We live in the dead of night
In the dead of night,
Tell me what remains of us
in the morning after
We take a life,
when we could save one another
We pay a price,
for the power bestowed
upon our hands
But in the end,
we believe in a single purpose
We all believe
in the light ahead,
in the beautiful disaster
