Saved

Amongst the stone and smoke
We never laid before
Images floating all about
Life in the afterglow

My decaying mind pretends
None of this ever happened
We either learn to live a lie
Or we're waiting here to die

And after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
With a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground

Illuminate and I will follow...

Amongst the stone and smoke
Rising above it all
Broken but not beyond repair
See how this soul fairs

From after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
But with a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground

Illuminate and I will follow you

The private does what the general says,
The general does what the president says,
The president does what the first lady says
So, so they say
