Lyrics
Fallen to my knees at the sight the memory is still imprinted, burned into my eyes I only stared forward, then into my hands, then up at the sky and my mind went blank Those around said I screamed but I cannot remember I only see the image branded on my mind An image that will never fade Still I look above Father, where is your mercy? Have you left us, Father? Can you see what's going on? Must life be a constant test of faith? I remember thinking that there must be no god as the scene unraveled in front of me the ground shook and the walls came tumbling down and the bodies, oh the bodies, strewn about like litter from some morbid baseball game The sirens and screams still somehow sound like they're right in front of me Pulling me from my knees to the side of the road Where I laid, trying to wipe that dream away but it would not fade Father, where is your mercy? Have you left us, Father? Can you see what's going on? Must life be a constant test of faith?
