Berlin

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 look 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 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
