The Slaughter of Innocents

Open your eyes and look all around you, and tell me what you see
 As you close your eye, do they match what you see inside of your dream
 If you try to run away it may still catch up to you
 Let your fear be your strength
 Unlike the slaughter of the innocents
 Wake up and see
 That now all of your dreams have become reality
 Trust your instincts,
 'Cause it may all that you have left in this life
 If you try to run away it may still catch up to you
 Let your fear be your strength
 Unlike the slaughter of the innocents
 The world is self-destructing
 The wind and rain
 The sins of man will soon be extinct
 To pave the way to a world that's no more
 Fire... rain... destruction... sadness
 People are dying, children are crying
 The stench in the air that you'll never forget in this life
 You're left all alone, with nowhere to run
 Is this the apocalypse
 Only the strong will survive
 Fire... rain... destruction... sadness
 In this world of evil and sin
 There is no way to turn back the past
 Forcing myself to accept my fate
 Is there a better life that I once dreamed of
 Governments' failure to protect
 Warfare and experiments on all but them
 Why must we suffer because of their mistakes
 Is it inevitable, the slaughter of innocents
