Childhood`s End Songtext / Lyric

You shout in your sleep

Perhaps the price is just too steep

Is your conscious at rest

If once put to the test

You awake with a start

To just the beating of your heart

Just one man beneath the sky

Just two ears just two eyes






You set sail across the sea

Of long past thoughts and memories

Childhood's end your fantasies

Merge with harsh realities

And then as the sail is hoist

You find your eyes are growing moist

And all the fears never voiced

Say you have to make the final choice



Who are you and who am I

To say we know the reason why

Some are born some men die

Beneath one infinite sky

There'll be war there'll be peace

But everything one day will cease

All the iron turn to rust

All the proud men turn to dust

So all things time will mend

And so this song will end
