Pay no attention to the writing on the wall   The words seem empty cause there's nothing there at all   We let the wise man beat the drums too soon   We were just children of the moon      No one to turn to   Nowhere to run to even if we could      Too late to save us but try to understand   The seas were empty there was hunger in the land   We let the blind man lead the way too long   Easy to see where we went wrong      Nothing to live for   Nothing to die for   We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world   Lost in the middle of a hopeless world      Children, children of the moon watch the world go by   Children, children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky   Children, children of the moon watch it all go by   Children, children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes      No one to turn to   Nowhere to run to even if we could      Follow the pilgrim to the temple of the dawn   The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone   We let the madman write the golden rules   We were no more than mortal fools      Nothing to live for   Nothing to die for   We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world   Lost in the middle of a hopeless world      Children, children of the moon watch the world go by   Children, children of the moon, hiding from the sky...
