Good old mom and dad 
Pulled the plug in December 
A quarter century erased forever 
The way you stare at me 
It's obvious to see 
Our candle's fading 
And I don't dry your eye 
When it starts raining 
And it looks like rain 

Go look around 
No place is safe and sound 
No sanctuary waits 
Beyond these rusty gates 

It's up to us 
To carry on what's left 
This time it's down to us 
You're my last chance at this 
Don't trust another easy road 
That's just the foolish gold 
It's up to us 

If your fractured heart 
Won't receive its healing 
We'll repeat the mistakes 
Our parents' generation is revealing 
But don't you take away 
The reason I can say 
Life is worth liven' 
Just search your mind 
And find time for forgiving 

Go look around 
No place is safe and sound 
No sanctuary waits 
Beyond these rusty gates 

It's up to us 
To carry on what's left 
This time it's down to us 
You're my last chance at this 
Don't trust another easy road 
That's just the foolish gold 
It's up to us
