[M and L: T. Eriksson]



Welcome to this tortured place of life

Where the truth is locked behind the doors and swept aside

We are the ones that are born to face this hell

What will become of our future, only time will tell



[BRIDGE]

Lost all control since the sacred times of old

They believe in what they preach but we're out of reach



[CHORUS]

We are the children forlorn

Nobody cares 'bout the scorn

We live and bleed, we die in need

We are the children forlorn



Our lives been beaten down with time

If you could look into our future emptiness you'd find

Another day, another soul astray

We always seem to wonder "is this the only way?"



Ther will come a day when all the fools  will sail away

All the promises they made to you are swept away

And when the smoke has cleared and you see us standing there

You will never be in chains again, yeath
