Out in the streets, where the rumours flew The Second Coming of "you know who" But still they doubt as they stare at the face to believe Deep in the woods, long after dark Falling through the stratosphere, shining like a star They shoot to kill, for the questions come later, you see Oh, their god is logic in which nothing is divisible They stone the fake as he performs another miracle Lying in the gutter with his life-blood spilling again Oh, it's a world growing colder Life is a twin bladed knife Oh, every child born a soldier Fights, but is blind to see... the light Beneath the surface lurks a nightmare or two So dies a whale that broke the golden rule She trusted man, in return she's torn from the sea Treasure the loch secretly keeps Rises from its peaceful primeval depth sleep, yeah! Two thousand years to a circus cage tragedy Oh, are we laboratory torturers of innocence Or are we circumstantial victims of our own pretence Killers of a world, systematically eaten away Oh, it's a world growing colder Life is a twin bladed knife Oh, every child born a soldier Fights, but is blind to see... the light Children of night are the dreamers, carried away on a merciful sleep Let them slumber on, for tomorrow comes the day, yeah! Unwanted life is the reason, dawn and the gun finds them dead on the streets Naked in the sun, now the pain has gone away Oh, but I don't understand why only man brings suffering of this kind Are we so blind, we can't see the light? Oh! - Oh! - Yeah! Oh! - Oh! - Oh! It's not too late, we could break down the fear But choose indifference as the end draws near Not long to wait, the "piece de resistance" is here Chemical bombs, ashes to dust Every living creature dies, buildings ain't touched, no! It's not abuse, they were never developed to use I said a pointless civil war, a terrorist without a cause It's been so long that he's forgotten what he's fighting for Everybody screams, only no one's listening again Oh, it's a world growing colder Life is a twin bladed knife Oh, every child born a soldier Fights, but is blind to see Oh, it's a world on his shoulders Now better run for your life Oh, it's a frightful disclosure Search in your hearts to see... the light See the light!
