We teach them to pretend Not to break the line To always look away And never ask why
We sit beside the cradle We tell them to be brave But when the warning sounds It echoes to the grave
We keep blindly moving Along the same old path No common sense Would guide us back to life
Now look at us The pinnacle conception How we assumed These walls would never fall
Sleep Farewell forever child Farewell
We are the last to walk the earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away
In lockstep to damnation To our dying breath Every reckless footprint Leaves the smell of death
On the wilting meadows We let them out to play We said - No need to worry Now they never may
Sleep Farewell forever
We are the last to walk the earth And watch the passing ages slowly sail How it burns to embrace That below the lilac skies Eternity is just a breath away
