(Man) : 'One last goodbye for the ice is about to break; <br />I've had my time in the sun. <br />What matters it to see them drowning in that lake, <br />I have my memories of fun? <br /> <br />What need I now from this Earth that gives us life? <br />I know my final day. <br />Look up future shepard, as I descend to throw my deadly knife <br />Into the back of this crying knave.' <br /> <br />(Child) : 'Forget me not etched in their caring tombs, <br />Yet we are the forgotten and doomed. <br />Cast into the darkness of Hells godless wombs, <br />We had no chance of seeing the knife that loomed. <br /> <br />There is no car to drive up to Heavens gate, <br />Or to escape the floods of deciet. <br />For us it is too late, we give up, <br />Surrender.
