I see them fighting in the streets
The war is torn
Run on through the fire
Like a raging rhino bloodied at the horn
I see them taking sides
Drawing lines across the sand
I know how hard they fight
This battle of the damned
The lights have all gone out
In the dark they stand alone
If they open their eyes they'll find
Redemption for their souls
And now they wait their whole lifetimes
For the ones
To take them far away
Take these smoking guns
Flames fall from the sky
Engulf this empty town
The players take the stage
Will they make it to the bow
Glory, hallelujah
They wander and they roam
And now you're praying
All lost children come back home
The time has gone too far
To end this peacefully
And though I'm growing old
Don't take these childish things from me
Look deep inside and start
To wash away the hate
These words, all heard before
But redemption's not too late
Red quills mark their names
In black books of despair
We're only halfway home
We'll make it there, I swear
Glory, hallelujah
They wander and they roam
And now you're praying
All lost children come back home
The time has gone too far
To end this peacefully
And though I'm growing old
Don't take these childish things from me
