Legends

Out in the streets, where the rumours flew 
 The Second Coming of "you know who" 
 But still they doubt as they stare at the face to believe 
 Deep in the woods, long after dark 
 Falling through the stratosphere, shining like a star 
 They shoot to kill, for the questions come later, you see 
 Oh, their god is logic in which nothing is divisible 
 They stone the fake as he performs another miracle 
 Lying in the gutter with his life-blood spilling again 


 Oh, it's a world growing colder 
 Life is a twin bladed knife 
 Oh, every child born a soldier 
 Fights, but is blind to see... the light 


 Beneath the surface lurks a nightmare or two 
 So dies a whale that broke the golden rule 
 She trusted man, in return she's torn from the sea 
 Treasure the loch secretly keeps 
 Rises from its peaceful primeval depth sleep, yeah! 
 Two thousand years to a circus cage tragedy 
 Oh, are we laboratory torturers of innocence 
 Or are we circumstantial victims of our own pretence 
 Killers of a world, systematically eaten away 


 Oh, it's a world growing colder 
 Life is a twin bladed knife 
 Oh, every child born a soldier 
 Fights, but is blind to see... the light 


 Children of night are the dreamers, carried away on a merciful sleep 
 Let them slumber on, for tomorrow comes the day, yeah! 
 Unwanted life is the reason, dawn and the gun finds them dead on the streets 
 Naked in the sun, now the pain has gone away 
 Oh, but I don't understand why only man brings suffering of this kind 
 Are we so blind, we can't see the light? 
 Oh! - Oh! - Yeah! 
 Oh! - Oh! - Oh! 


 It's not too late, we could break down the fear 
 But choose indifference as the end draws near 
 Not long to wait, the "piece de resistance" is here 
 Chemical bombs, ashes to dust 
 Every living creature dies, buildings ain't touched, no! 
 It's not abuse, they were never developed to use 
 I said a pointless civil war, a terrorist without a cause 
 It's been so long that he's forgotten what he's fighting for 
 Everybody screams, only no one's listening again 


 Oh, it's a world growing colder 
 Life is a twin bladed knife 
 Oh, every child born a soldier 
 Fights, but is blind to see 


 Oh, it's a world on his shoulders 
 Now better run for your life 
 Oh, it's a frightful disclosure 
 Search in your hearts to see... the light 
 See the light!
