Píseň: Children of the damned

Interpret:
Therion
Album:
A'arab Zaraq - Lucid Dreaming
[Originally performed by IRON MAIDEN 1982] 


He's walking like a small child 
But watch his eyes burn you away 
Black holes in his golden stare 
God knows he wants to go home 


Children of the damned 
Children of the damned 
Children of the damned 


He's walking like a dead man 
If he had lived he would have crucified us all 
Now he's standing on the last step 
He thought oblivion well it beckons us all 


Children of the damned 
Children of the damned 
Children of the damned 


Now it's burning his hands he's turning to laugh 
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh 
Melting his face screaming in pain 
Peeling the skin from his eyes 
Watch him die according to plan 
He's dust on ground what did we leam 


You're children of the damned 
Your back's against the wall 
You turn into the light 
You're children of the damned 
Like candles watch them burn 
Burning in the light 
You'll burn again tonight 
You're children of the damned
