Our city rings, with the cries of the ill
A wailing for the dead …
At the graves on the hill, speak up old man
The people need be fed …
From the depths, red waves of pain
Choking till they die …
You could have been a healer
Despite all the strife
Oh children, why are you here?
Oh children, why are you here?
The raging plague, so ugly is
It feeds a trillion flies
Now we beg, the best of you
Listen to our cries
Rule the world, if you can
Be good and let us be …
Instead of taking what you will
Give, and set us free
Oh children, why are you here?
Oh children, why are you here?
Oh children, why are you here?
Oh children, why are you here?
Our wasteland cities, are stripped bare
Fields are deserts now
The time before, beyond compare
We’ve all forgotten how
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Here there is no shelter
Our beaches swallowed by the tide
While streets and houses swelter
You have been judged, you are condemned
An infamous eternity
We have contrived, we will survive
Forgetting you with glee
Forgetting you with glee
Forgetting you with glee
Oh children, why are you here?
Oh children, why are you here?
