If I could tell
If I could tell
About the faces that haunt me
If I could tell
About the eyes filled with sadness
If I could tell
About the screams echoing in my head
If I could tell
But the words remain elusive
Like butterflies in the summer breeze
They escape fly away from me
Why should they want to stay here in this darkness
Give me rest
Who would understand what I say
Unless they could remember
A time when fear overwhelmed them
Or the moment they killed a man
And saw the light leave his eyes
There is no need to tell
No one is listening
