Children of the Dawn

They face the night

Will they return again?

Eyes wide with fright

Religion they defend

Holding their guns with a tight grip

Hiding their "sighs" as they tray...

And they pray

So I pray

The last thing to remember

You can't run away

There'll be no surrender

The lives are lost but they are free at last

Marching on - Can you see the children of the dawn

They are the chosen ones who suffer in the end

Marching on - Can you see the children of the dawn

What are they fighting for in your holy war?

Ohh, miles to go

And their young hearts yearn today

There's salvation, the next life

But the sand just burns

Now the cannons thunder

As ordnance lights the sky

The whole world stare in wonder

The lives are lost but they are free at last

Marching on - Can you see the children of the dawn

They are the chosen ones who suffer in the end

Marching on - Can you see the children of the dawn

What are they fighting for in your holy war?

The days are months, the months are years

But time can't dry away the million tears

When all the souls are gone and nobody's left to play

The game is over...

And they pray

So they pray

They will never learn, never turn

Away from violence and destruction

Never fear, never hear

Throw caution to the wind

But they're out of time, out of place

Don't belong in this situation

You don't know, you don't hear

The pounding of the beat they're marching...

Marching on - Can you see the children of the dawn

They are the chosen ones who suffer in the end

Marching on - Can you see the children of the dawn

What are they fighting for in your holy war?
