I remember her embrace The sorrow behind a straight face Her sobbing at night in the Moon's glow I remember when we played The spark in her eyes as she said Honey I don't want you to ever grow We were happy before they came We were together, then they came Darkness engulfing our sorry souls We were happy before they came We were together, then they came Darkness engulfing our sorry souls I remember the first day The army men and my dismay The turmoil in my mother's weeping eyes Ripped away from her embrace I remember the endless tests The crispness of the drugs blurring her cries We were happy before they came We were together, then they came Darkness engulfing our sorry souls We were torn apart when they came They tormented us with no shame Reason of State enforcing its goals
