CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT Lyrics

This is the saddest song I know I'll ever write

I sing for those lost in the shadows of the night

Though they beg and cry, no one hears their voice

They made their decision, they made their choice

Now they whisper through the darkened air

Trying to warn you, but do you even care

If only they could turn back time

If only they had seen the signs

Now they scream, now they plead

With words, they wish you would believe

A warning cry, a desperate sound

From souls forever bound

Please don't come to this awful place

If only you could see the sorrow on my face

No air to breathe, no hope, no light

Forever lost in endless night

A putrid stench, a land of decay

No joy, no music, just souls led astray

No family, no friends, no more new trends

Only torment that never ends

They watch as the lost keep pouring in

Trapped in chains, paying for their sin

No Christmas, Thanksgiving, only pain

Every memory now burned in flame

Please don't come to this awful place

If only you could see the sorrow on my face

No air to breathe, no hope, no light

Forever lost in endless night

We were warned, but we turned away

We mocked the truth, now here we stay

No mercy here, no second chance

No more hope, no final dance

We ignored the voice that called our names

Laughed at the ones who tried to say

Come home before it is too late

But now we stand behind this gate
