In recoil I reflect upon
The madness I saw there
And yet our reasons justified
Of that I am aware
I'm drained but I must carry on
and live with dignity
And put this memory far behind
as homeward we retreat
In recoil I reflect upon
the inhumanity
Their poisoned minds, their tortured pride
Their cold hostility
I sense the smell of victory,
but now it's not so sweet
I am living, I am one
But now my heart won't beat
In recoil I reflect upon
the way things used to be
A time of endless innocence
A time of purity
I sense the smell of victory,
but now it's not so sweet
I am living, I am one
But I can barely breathe
The madness I saw there
And yet our reasons justified
Of that I am aware
I'm drained but I must carry on
and live with dignity
And put this memory far behind
as homeward we retreat
In recoil I reflect upon
the inhumanity
Their poisoned minds, their tortured pride
Their cold hostility
I sense the smell of victory,
but now it's not so sweet
I am living, I am one
But now my heart won't beat
In recoil I reflect upon
the way things used to be
A time of endless innocence
A time of purity
I sense the smell of victory,
but now it's not so sweet
I am living, I am one
But I can barely breathe
