А nightmare to remember, I'd never be the same
  Cm
What began as laughter so soon would turn to pain
      Cm
The sky was clear and frigid, the air was thick and still
    Cm
Now I'm not one to soon forget, and I bet I never will

 Cm      D     Cm   D      Cm     D   Cm
Picture for a moment, the perfect irony
    Cm      D     Cm    D   Cm         D   Cm
А flawless new beginning eclipsed by tragedy
    Cm   D       Cm   D         Cm     D      Cm
The uninvited stranger started dancing on his own
       Cm       D           Cm      D
So we said goodbye to the glowing bride
        Cm       D        Cm
And we made our way back home

[Припев]:
 Fm  Dm7-5 C# Fm      G
Life was  so simple then
A#m C#     Gm7-5 C
We were so in-nocent
 Fm Dm7-5 C#   Fm G
Father    and mother
 A#m C#       Gm7-5 C
Hold-ing each o-o-ther

Cm         D
  Without warning
Fm        Cm
  Out of nowhere
        D
Like a bullet
Fm          Cm
  From the night
           D
Crushing glass
 Fm          Cm
Rubber and steel
           D
Scorching fire
Fm         Cm
  Glowing lights

            D
Screams of terror
Fm          Cm
  Pain and fear
           D
Sounds of sirens
  Fm        Cm
Smoke in my eyes
         D
Sudden stillness
Fm           Cm
  Blackened silence
           D
No more screaming
Fm          Cm
  No more cries

[Припев]:
(2 раза)  D#m          Bm
Stunned and bewildered
 Dm         Fm
Cold and afraid
 Cm           G#m
Torn up and broken
  Bm            Dm
Frightened and dazed

 Cm13
Lying on the table
        F11
In this unfamiliar place
      Cm13
I'm greeted by a stranger
   F11
А man without a face

           Cm13
He said, "Son, do you remember?
       F11
Do you even know your name?"
          Cm13
Then he shined a light into my eyes
            F11
And said, "Take this for the pain."

"Tell me, does this hurt you?"
 F11
Said the faceless man
          Cm13
"Can you move all of your fingers?
          F11
Can you try your best to stand?"
  Cm13
I asked about the others,
    F11
"Is everyone ok?"
    Cm13
He told me not to worry
       F11
As he turned and looked away

Day after day

Replaying the events

Haunted by a dream

How could you prepare

For what would happen next?

No son should ever have to see

His father such a mess

It's a miracle he lived

It's a blessing no one died

By the grace of God above
Dm
Everyone survived
