Children of the western world Who could ever love you more Than this dream you tuck in in fear A joyful hiding place for tears True to your hearts aswer this: Would you ever rise against it? I didn't want it to come to this Just needed something to believe in Now there are ashes in my lifeblood And i hear the rage of those who crawl I asked myself, out of the dream: How could we ever come to accept this? You ungrateful hypocrites I gave you all there is I made you fractions of the gods In this age of slaves Why will you not pay the price And reap my rich rewards? How could you betray my trust And fight your own dream chance? Children of the western world Who did ever love you more Than this cradle that held you so dear A place of joy, unknown to fear Hands on heart, now answer me: How could you ever turn against me? Children of the western world You're as guilty as i am For all the things i do for you For all the things of which you're made Of you i ask just one more thing My time's come, now please stop me!
