Childhood's End - Iron Maiden

(Harris)  4:40 

       I'd sail across the ocean
        I'd walk a hundred miles
     If I could make it to the end
         Oh just to see a smile

        You see it in their faces
       The sadness in their tears
      The desperation and the anger
          Madness and the fear

  No hope, no life, just pain and fear
  No food, no love, just greed is here

        Starvation and the hunger
       The suffering and the pain
       The agonies of all-out war
        When will it come again?

       The struggle for the power
          A tyrant tries again
     Just what the hell is going on?
         When will it ever end?

  No hope, no life, just pain and fear
  No food, no love, just greed is here

      You see the full moon float
       You watch the red sun rise
    We take these things for granted
     But somewhere someone's dying

          Contaminated waters
          Pollution and decay
   Just waiting for disease to strike
       Oh will we learn someday?

  No hope, no life, just pain and fear
        No food, no love, no seed
             childhood's end
