I saw it in a photo |
|
It said all I need to know |
|
It's an image that has followed me |
|
Wherever I may go |
|
When I stare into your eyes |
|
I can only guess at where you've been |
|
Looking at the skyline of Berlin |
|
The buildings are all shattered |
|
As in a silent roar |
|
The streets are all just rubble |
|
The year is 1944 |
|
I guess I just don't understand |
|
This world we live in |
|
As I'm looking at the skyline of Berlin |
|
When I look into your face |
|
I can hear the dying cries |
|
And the sadness of the world |
|
Reflected in your deep blue eyes |
|
The picture of a city |
|
Flattened like a tin |
|
Looking at the skyline of Berlin |
|
You can talk about the blitz |
|
And all those good people gone |
|
You can claim you were fighting evil |
|
You can ask which side I'm on |
|
But all I see is horror |
|
A war only death would win |
|
When I'm looking at the skyline of Berlin |
