lyrics

Tonight
As the world burned and crumbled one more time
We dreamt of playing in these streets of mine
For a day that would not come

Born
Into a war we could not comprehend
We held each other through the bitter end
We’re the Children of Ruin

We ran
Away from here into another world
Away from here into another place
Where no one will get

We ran
Away from here into another world
Away from here into another place
Where no one will get us

The sirens and the screams, they were my lullabies
The mountains and the streams, they cried as we passed by
Through the fire and the rain
We stood upon the shoulders of those that became
Our own end
And for all we left behind
One last look is all that we could spare
As we still fear them

The ones that once took us
The ones that once broke us down
The ghosts that would haunt us
Each time we would turn around
For the day that we ran
Was the day that we learned to see
That we’d been marked for death
Since the day we were born

And over our shoulder we gaze at the world from where once we came
From behind the curtain we weep and we shout and we carve out your names
And we wonder in vain
About the ones that remained

And through days gone by it will blur in our minds how it came out to be
That those darkened skies held a promise of life that we would come to see
But we still wonder in vain
About the ones that remained
And we still wait for a sign
From the ones that we left behind
