The Dreamcatcher

Night falls down and the ignorant stars
Take their place on impassive sky.
The tears and the tortured cries
Drown in darkness and slowly fade

The blood leaking from a thousand wounds
Can be washed away without a thought
When you don't see the cold staring eyes
Of those who die outside of your domain
No words of pain will reach your tired ears
When throats are crushed so far away from you
The bodies riddled with bullet holes
Will not disturb your sweet dreams

The dreamcatcher
Woven of deceit
The twisted threads
Hide away the guilt

You train yourselves to look the other way
You're tuning out the pleads for help
Your peace protected by the barbed wire
Your dreams built on broken bones
The price of living in a perfect lie
Is paid in billions of demolished hopes

The dreamcatcher
Woven of deceit
The twisted threads
Hide away the guilt
