"A Broken Man" lyrics

Feel the heat intensify
Steel piercing the skin
Sky on fire electrified
War inside begins
Wrought with guilt abandoning
Comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me
Broken, sick I feel

What of the dreams?
A haunting curse
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse

Dead inside
Though I've tried
I know I am
A broken man

Swaying, praying
Trying to escape
Laughing, crying
More than one can take
Haunting, taunting
Will not let me be
Hypnotizing
And not letting go of me

Stranglehold, dreams unfold
Helpless, can't break free
Memories, blood red sky
Rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside
Senseless tragedy
Shock and awe, numb and raw
Suffocating me

Nightmare - Will this never end?
Flashback - I'm unravelling
Misery can't break free
Wasted lives cast aside

What of the dreams?
A haunting curse
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse

Dead inside
Though I've tried
I know I am
A broken man

What of the dreams?
What can I learn?
Nor can erase
Forever burn

What of the dreams?
Inflamed and torn
And now I wish I had never been born
All is lost
I've done all I can I swear
This cross is mine to bare

Broken man
Only one remedy
He waits patiently
Peaceful and free for eternity
