Children of Decay

This is the dawning of a brand new day

Close your eyes, try to make it go away

We are what you've made us

We are hollow as ghosts

This is the turning of a new tide

We are cold, we are dead inside

Is that what you wanted?

Is this the future you planned?

History will never understand

Just how life and death can walk hand-in-hand

How when one man suffers we can turn away

But that's all that's left for the children of decay

These are the lies that we tell ourselves

The deep disappointment that we know so well

We are all that is left

We are marginal loss
