The sixth song on the Shadows of the Sun album. The title can be seen as a begging, or even a plea, while the lyrics the reason why one has to “let the children go”.
Featuring a large amount of drums, and particularly African percussions, it happens to be a quite loud rock song when played live.
[Intro]
We hold each other
In the dead of night
[Verse 1]
And the end
Begins
When innocence dies
In their eyes
Asking us why
Must they die
[Bridge]
And live
And love
And life
Goes on
[Verse 2]
After the sun sets
The time to sleep
Without dreams
We have nothing
