We teach them to pretend

not to break the line,

to always look away

and never ask why.

We sit beside the cradle,

we tell them to be brave,

but when the warning sounds

it echoes to the grave.

We keep blindly moving

along the same old path,

no common sense would

guide us back to life.

Now look at us,

the pinnacle conception.

How we assumed

these walls would never fall.

Sleep!

Farewell forever, child.

Farewell!

We are the last to walk the earth

and watch the passing ages slowly sail.

How it burns to embrace

that, below the lilac skies,

Eternity is just a breath away.

In lockstep to damnation,

to our dying breath,

every reckless footprint

leaves the smell of death.

On the wilting meadows

we let them out to play.

We said "No need to worry",

now they never may.

Sleep,

farewell forever!

We are the last to walk the earth

and watch the passing ages slowly sail.

How it burns to embrace

that, below the lilac skies,

Eternity is just a breath away.

Sleep,

farewell forever!

We are the last to walk the earth

and watch the passing ages slowly sail.

How it burns to embrace

that, below the lilac skies,

Eternity is just a breath away...
