When Dreams Stop Dreaming

Did I see you
your gruesome face
in the crowd
amongst the reflections
of all you did erase
Were you there
Wereyouthere?

Did I see you
and your face
amongst the sea of grief
life shot down you insignificant thief

A body lays cold and done (tear)
setting like today's raining sun

Did I see you
and your face
in the reflection
of what you erased
Were you there
Wereyouthere?

Were you there
as his body was
laid 'neath the ground (tears)
as not a soul made a sound
apart from the echoes
of a sinking heart
were you there as
a family was torn apart? (screams)

No truth will ever set you
free
freedom is something you
you will never see
