Children Of The Moon Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

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
