III. WAR INSIDE MY HEAD - [lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [02:08]

  Napalm showers
  Showed the cowards
  We weren't there to mess around

  Through heat exhaustion
  And mind distortion
  A military victory mounted on innocent ground

  Hearing voices from miles away
  Saying things never said
  Seeing shadows in the light of the day
  Waging a war inside my head

  Years and years of
  Bloodshed and warfare
  Our mission was only to get in and kill

  A free vacation
  Of palmtrees and shrapnel
  Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell

  Hearing voices from miles away
  Saying things never said
  Seeing shadows in the light of the day
  Waging a war inside my head

  Feeling strangers staring my way
  Reading minds never read
  Tasting danger with each word I say
  Waging a war inside my head
