Who would have thought?
Who could have imagined it would all turn out this way?
He came along
They had their hearts out
Out on their sleeves to be taken
And I watch as his words
His words took hold at down
Like a plague in the night
And I watch as he turned
Turned their fears into hate
Now I see fire in their eyes (fears in, fears in)
So don't call this a bad dream now
'Cause while you are sleeping, they take everything away
Don't tell me not to scream now
In my scream, they heard my life and couldn't look away
They couldn't look away
Who would have thought?
Could have imagined that we could stoop so low?
And now the curtain's been drawn
The veil has been lifted
Now the truth we all know, we all know
That this isn't a dream now
'Cause while we were sleeping, they took everything away
Don't tell me not to scream now
In my scream, they heard my life and couldn't look away
They couldn't look away
Couldn't look away, ooh, risk my life and lose my life
Couldn't look away, ooh, risk my life and lose my life
Ooh, risk my life and lose my life
Ooh, risk my life and lose my life
