Pay no attention to the writing on the wall The words seem empty, 'cause there's nothing there at all We let the wise men beat the drums too soon We were just children of the moon No one to turn to Nowhere to run to even if we could ♪ Too late to save us, but try to understand The seas were empty, there was hunger in the land We let the blind man lead the way too long Easy to see where we went wrong Nothing to live for Nothing to die for We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world Lost in the middle of a hopeless world Children, children of the moon Watch the world go by Children, children of the moon Are hiding from the sun and the sky Children, children of the moon Watch it all go by Children, children of the moon Are blinded by the light in their eyes No one to turn to Nowhere to run to even if we could ♪ Follow the pilgrim to the temple of the dawn The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone We let the madmen write the golden rules We were no more than mortal fools Nothing to live for Nothing to die for We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world Lost in the middle of a hopeless world Children, children of the moon Watch the world go by Children, children of the moon Hiding from the sky
