Pay no attention to the writing on the wall  The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all  We let the wise men 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 madmen 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
