it's amazing how ignorant people can be

it's amazing how arrogant, the man to the sea

it's amazing how innocent one man can be

and be proven guilty

I wish I could give you something else

dear child

This is your burden

this is your hell

this is your heaven

the reason you fell

This is your destiny fulfilled

this is your mission

I wish i could give you something else

dear child

I wish i COULD give you SOMETHING else

BUT THIS IS IT

this is your torture,

this your refrain

this your salvation

inherited pain

Dear child

I wish i could give you something else

dear child

so innocent and wild

so fragile and mild

so gentle and wild

I wish I could give you something else

Dear child

OHOW I WISH

i could give you something else

Dear child,

the winter

the frost

the fumes of exhaust

this madness

this mind

the eternal line

DEAR CHILD

I wish I could give you something else

DEAR CHILD

THIS IS TORTURE

this life

Dear child

I wish I could give you something else

dear child

than this war torn world.

O my dear child
