sons of the thief
sons of the saint
who is the child with no complaint
sons of the great or sons unknown
all were children like your own
the same sweet smiles
the same sad tears
the cries at night
the nightmare fears
sons of the great or sons unknown
all were children like your own. so long ago: long
long
ago. but sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
all of the children ran from your arms
through fields of gold
through fields of ruin
all of the children vanished too soon
in tow'ring waves
in walls of flesh
among dying birds trembling with death
sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
all of the children ran from your arms. so long ago: long
long
ago. but sons of your sons or sons passing by
children we lost in lullabies
sons of true love or sons of regret
all of the sons you cannot forget
some built the roads
some wrote the poems
some went to war
some never came home
sons of your sons or sons passing by
children we lost in lullabies. so long ago: long
long
ago
but
sons of the theif
sons of the saint
who is the child with no complaint
sons of the great or sons unknown
all were children like your own
the same sweet smiles
the same sad tears
the cries at night
the nightmare fears
sons of the great or sons unknown
all were children like your own.
