[Verse 1]
In a darkened graveyard glows a light
I see it shine there every night
I know somewhere there's a hidden door
There's an answer here we must explore
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I'll not submit to reason
I'll sit and watch the seasons change
[Chorus]
We watch the children pray
Save us God today
Come whatever may
[Verse 2]
We hold our fate and make the choice
But we'll not listen to that still small voice
Are we just crazy, out of our minds?
Wish this were someplace, another time
[Chorus]
We watch the children pray
Save us God today
Come whatever may
[Bridge]
And I know we're going
So far away from this wretched life we lead
With open arms meet catastrophe
In the valley of the damned we'll be
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And I know we're going
So far away from this wretched life we lead
With open arms meet catastrophe
In the valley of the damned we'll be
[Chorus]
We watch the children pray
Save us God today
Come whatever may
[Outro]
And now to life we say goodbye
I know the when but not the why
Our nation's blood spills on the ground
Our lives go out without a sound
