Sense of War

I see red life spilled
I hear cries of fallen
I feel sick and afraid
I taste the dust and ashes
I think war has begun

red life spilled
cries of fallen
sick and afraid
the dust and ashes
war has begun

Unrealistic Dream?

i had a dream that i was king
i had a dream that nothing could stop me
i had a dream that i could fly
when i awoke from that dream
i had already fallen
i was just a peasant
everyone including myself had stopped me
i tried to fall back asleep
tried to forget what was real
and learn what's not
but every time i tried to go back
back to that world
every time i managed to grasp what little i had left of it
reality pinched me awake
i had a dream that i was happy
how do i make that reality?
