Only The Children Cry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tears on their faces
And fear for their kind
Chasing our shadows
Blind leading the blind
Burning bridges now there is
No turning back
You're in passage way to hell
Cry for a new world this is no place to be
Call for your freedom
Hear the voices of destiny
Only the children cry
To young to live
To young to die
Born by temptation
You'll suffer their gain
Your dreams are paradise
In this land of pain
Burning bridges now there is
No turning back
You're in passage way to hell
Cry for a new world this is no place to be
Call for your freedom
Hear the voices of destiny
The line that's between us
Two worlds so far apart
The challenge may lie beyond you
No other will know
The silence you arc dying for
