lyrics

Look at him so innocent
Transparent soul so light and thin
The trees are tall the grass is green
And tiny heart beneath the skin
In dreams he flies It means he grows
What future hides nobody knows
Today he's playing in the sand
The little world inside his hands

And now it's just raining dust
Ground covered in blood like rust
How could it happen?
How could it happen?
The kid who never hurt a fly
Will kill all of us tonight
How could it happen?
How could it happen?

Look at him he's so grown up
He worked and hustled to the top
He learned to lie he learned to fight
But fear of hights can make you blind
His quiet terror walks the streets
Said only war can give us peace
The bloody savior in command
Fate of the world is in his hands

But now it's just raining dust
Ground covered in blood like rust
How could it happen?
How could it happen?
The kid who never hurt a fly
Will kill all of us tonight
How could it happen?
How could it happen?
