Lyrics

He stumbled through the broken street of glass and stone the sun dangling in the noon sky They just said goodbye She left the house at 9am predicting she'd return at ten but hours passed Then he heard the blast Now he's running through the crowd that's gathered round the decimated market place looking for her face Sirens sound from nearby roads. His thoughts are incoherent Head blank as a cloud And he shouts out loud Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, Take me Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, Take me Earlier that day a man had stepped into a car and taken out his keys And then begged god please: "Take my soul but keep my sons away from harm And don't you hurt my loving wife As I give my life" His engine turned, the car drove down some Ahfgan street he listened to the radio He was driving slow As he approached the market place he held his breath and gripped the wheel began to cry And looked to the sky.... he screams Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, Take me Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, Take me Fire, fire and dust fill the air Fire, fire and dust, a hope and a prayer Fire, fire and dust fill the air Fire, fire and dust, a hope and a prayer Seven thousand miles away in thirty second segments all the experts muse on the evening news Yet another necessary consequence to keep our homeland safe and sound
