Grim Reality

Lyrics:
Blankets spread on grass so green
Laughter echoes bright and clean
Sandwiches and sunny skies
Family's joy fills my eyes
meals consumed and stories told
Warmth and love in moments gold

Turn around and one's not there
Gone without a trace or care
First one gone I start to call
Names like whispers through the thrall
Shadows stretch and voices thin
Where'd they go my patience wears thin
Sweat on brow heart starts to race
Where's my family lost the place

Faces fade tongues grow silent
Heart pounds voice turns violent
Disappear they vanish all
One by one my loved ones fall
Reality slipping through the seams
Wake me from these wicked dreams

Picnic turns to hollow cries
Desperate here beneath the skies
Stumble through this empty space
No more warmth no one's embrace

Eyes were clear but now they blur
Vision shakes the mind unsure
Bloodied hands and sounds of war
Reality crashes with twisted roar
Gunfire rattles mind confuses
Bloodied hands and life it loses
Sanity a fleeting ghost
War-torn soul an empty host

Faces fade tongues grow silent
Heart pounds voice turns violent
Disappear they vanish all
One by one my loved ones fall
Reality slipping through the seams
Wake me from these wicked dreams
This is how I die
