These fits of depression are torturing me 
The lives that I seen won't breathe again 
A sad child of madness, they'll never be free 
Born again to die, the agonies begin 
And soldiers keep coming - like warriors they die 
But gangland's alive when mothers cry 
'Cause hate's blind addictions, a killing machine 
And it burns on the fuel of shattered lives 
Lost child, lost child 

The seeds of all evil are sown in their minds 
And harvest the sad fields of woe 
'Cause dead boys are martyrs 
That live on forever 
But now it's too late for their souls 
Standing on sanities too fragile edge 
And worship the "Lord Of The Flies"
And wade through the slaughter 
You've made of thy brother 
And drown in his blood then when he dies 

You see in their eyes 
They're the lost child 
See in their eyes 
You see in their eyes
They're the lost child 
See in their eyes 

Don't turn out the lights 
'Cause there's demons in the night 
And they prey on the fears in us all 
They hide inside and wait 
And they shun the light of day 
The screams in their dreams fill us all 

Children of the night 
Such a sad tune they rhyme 
The bloody boys that sing a wicked song 
And for all of them they're just memories in the wind 

Rise and see 
It's the dawn of insanity 
Keeper of the gates of fire 
And the Heretic has said 
You don't have to be afraid 
'Till I - till I come to get ya
And child in time 
On the swords edge you ride 
And cast a spell of Heresy 
And die in vain 
Like a wild dog in chains 
And no one can save 
Or set you free
