Madman's Dream Songtext
von Assemblage 23

I saw cities swallowed by the ocean
I saw children crying in the streets (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Hundreds stranded on the overpass
Bodies rotting in the brutal heat (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Cries for help fell on deaf ears
Five days passed, and no one came (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Pointing fingers while the people died
I saw a nation hang its head in shame (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Have I awakened deep inside some madman′s dream?
This is not my country, this is not what I believe
Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
I can barely recognize the place this used to be


Anarchy in the empty streets
The law dissolved like so much smoke (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
A dying prayer for the humanity
That washed away when the levees broke (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Have I awakened deep inside some madman′s dream?
This is not my country, this is not what I believe
Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
I can barely recognize the place this used to be

A year went by, and nothing changed
No justice left for the destitute (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Abandoned cities, abandoned souls
Tomorrow's dream is yesterday′s news (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Have I awakened deep inside some madman′s dream?
This is not my country, this is not what I believe
Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
I can barely recognize the place this used to be
