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
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
