Children of the Earth

Midnight! The hammer’s comin’ down Enter the darkness One shot to make it right All that we have lost along the way Shatter my heart! I am alive There is nothing you can do or say In spite of all that we’ve been told The hands of time go round and we get old Tears drop without a sound In the night! I am alive There is nothing you can do or say To make me change my mind One shot rang out the hand of fate denied Two feet run away and hide In the city of gold They run away, run away Three nights of lightning in the sky Heed the warning before you die On the run, on the run Into the night! One shot rang out the hand of fate denied Two feet run away and hide In the city of gold Run away, they run away Three nights of lightning in the sky Heed the warning before you die On the run, on the run. Into the night! One shot rang out the hand of fate denied Two feet to run away, run away and hide One shot rang out the hand of death is mine Two feet run away, run away and hide

Beyond the sea of rage and my wasted youth Secrets we take to our graves and ways to unlearn many things We’re living on fumes so we won’t sell our souls To remain human means we are not voiceless Hold on there’s a choice you've got to make Use your voice it’s what you’ve got Use your voice What is a picture and what is truth? Nothing seems to matter unless we're selling it for you Worship the hero, the unique and the brave But everyday people hold all those traits So don’t you separate us now I do believe this is how we die This is how we die Oh there’s a choice you’ve got to make Use your voice it’s what you’ve got Use your voice Are you backed in a corner And up against a wall? Is there more that you hoped for Have you destroyed it all? Hell bent on your next fix So beat down just trying to pay the rent And you think the world won’t listen Even if you had the chance What would the voiceless say What would the voiceless say? Let history be written, you did not conform Let the whole world order, descend, another war Hold on, there’s a choice you’ve got to make Use your voice it's what you’ve got. Use your voice

Woke in the darkness in the dead of night I was out of my head in another life Been asking questions since I was eight Movin’ too slow or movin’ too fast Movin’ too slow or movin’ too fast Until I enticed the demon’s night The demon’s night Walked away to another path Without your prayers and oppressive lies Had a bad reputation since I was nine Movin’ too slow or movin’ too fast Movin’ too slow or movin’ too fast Until I enticed the demon’s night, The demon’s night. Oh if this is the end The preacher decided my fate today If I had my way I’d do it all again Said I’d take my chances since I was ten Movin’ too slow or movin’ too fast Movin’ too slow or movin’ too fast Until I enticed the demon’s night The demon’s night Oh if this is the end I had already gone by the time they came to save me I reject the chaos of despair and I chose myself and my mind Didn’t know at the time til the damage was already done I was left for dead, I was out in the cold Oh if this is the end let it begin

Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world Who do you think you are and does nothing matter anymore? You got tired of this old town you got nothing left but just standing around You’ve been cut by the razor wire as you crawled your way out Life has a way of draggin’ you down, got your head all negative Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world I go to the river where I can catch my breath I go to the ocean where I can truly rest I’m thinking of nothing and my mind is a blank This love of the world is the only thing that keeps me engaged Love of the world I know that there’s a price to be paid The world is pain and that may never change While we’re here, I wanna I wanna live like it matters Livin’ tonight as if the fire will never go out This is the time and the place there’s really nowhere else Give me something to sing about I’ll scream, I’ll shout it out This love of the world is the only thing that keeps me around Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world It’s love, love of the world This is love, it’s love of the world It’s love, love of the world This is love, it’s love of the world It’s not the only way to know yourself There are many ways to live this life Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world Love of the world

Dark is the horizon The moon has not risen The eye of all evil The womb of nine muses In come the crones from the mountain cave At the threshold you lose their trace They say come see if it’s right for you Dance to death on the other side You are the mythmaker And defied this mortal being Where beyond the stars you see Hope is a world away, lay rest your sorrow Hope is a world away, the depths eternal You are the mythmaker And defied this mortal being Where beyond the stars you see Hope is a world away, lay rest your sorrow Hope is a world away, the depths eternal Hope is a world away, create your story You are the mythmaker

Give ‘em hell when they come for you With blades held to your throat Give ‘em hell, look within to find The answers for yourself There’s an old tale, a forgotten way It is everything we’ve been missing There is knowledge in our DNA There is power if we can listen Inside me is a weapon That does not reflect the light He leans into my death blade As if he wanted to die Give ‘em hell, give ‘em flames and steel Leave nothing else behind Give ‘em hell, blazing arrows Into visions in the sky The winds picked up the song The moon sang that’s the story of life When all is forgotten There is nothing left to hide Inside me is a weapon That does not reflect the light He leans into my death blade As if he wanted to die You don’t see the death blade comin’ That’s the beauty of life You don’t see the death blade comin’

As the flames reach for your breath And your screams describe your death No promise of an after life Could make that moment any better Written on strips of gold The orphic inscriptions May the last path that we walk Burn in our hearts forever We are children of the earth! We are children of the stars and sky! And would you save my life Or would you take it? How long must we wander these lands? We will not forget Would you save my life Or would you take it? The last tree on the left To the lake of memory Between night and day If I am lost along the way To the lake of memory A new generation of war and hate And we will not forget I take these words to my grave Let them lead the way

Tonight our simple dreams Are flying on the wing We are rays of light Are we just holding on Or do we live in joy Is the sign victorious Of all that is to come? Tonight I saw the shadow Of my former self I returned to be me Are we just holding on Or do we live in joy? Is the sign victorious Of all that is to come? In this life we fear What we cannot see Our defenses need to be freed. It matters not what we do The sun and moon will rise and set again Tonight we could be gods In the Pantheon We could be anything Are we just holding on Or do we live in joy? Is the sign victorious Of all that is to come? I wasn't one for all those games Flew so high and fell so low Rays of light into a circle of stone And I know it’s a long way down from here
