lyrics

They forced you down into the valley of the soul
They broke your spirit to exert their control
Replaced your conscience with the laws from the sky
They destroyed your dreams in the blink of an eye

No understanding of their dark parade
So little answered in this masquerade

Don’t ask them why
All the children must die
Don’t question why
In the blink of an eye

They shame your instincts and the nature of us all
Equip the masses with the guilt we need to fall
Prejudicial justice from the judge up on high
They condemn to fire in the blink of an eye

Deceived by sophist reason, you won’t be saved
A legion tricked before you in mass graves

Don’t ask them why
All the children must die
Don’t question why
In the blink of an eye

In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye
All the children must die
In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye

Whether witch or an innocent you’ll burn or drown
So you must break these chains that have held you down
Overthrow wicked forces controlling your thought
Soon you’ll uncover the flaws in what you’ve been taught

No longer look to the sky
No longer look up on high
Find the how and the why
In the blink of an eye

Rise from the ashes, a phoenix so vibrant of hue
Now claim your place in a world, colourful and new

No longer look to the sky
No longer look up on high
Find the how and the why
In the blink of an eye

Released from torment, at the summit of your soul
Unleash your spirit and exert your control
Now heed your conscience and ascend towards the sky
You achieved your dreams in the blink of an eye

With understanding of their dark parade
You’ll free your ego from this masquerade

Now ask them why
All the children must die
Now question why
In the blink of an eye
