With eyes of darkness,
Are we condemned to stay in this world?
With misery as our teachers,
We watch as our fates were unfurled.
With feet that step on broken glass,
Tell me, what can we find,
That they did not harass.

~Chorus~
Lost in the shadows,
The lost children hang from the gallows.
We swallow our pride,
We run and hide.
Searching for salvation,
Turning away from our own creation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With eyes that have seen eternal damnation,
We all are lost, but we are the hope of our nation.
With arms wideopen,
Our wounds we reopen.
We long for salvation, but we know that path is broken,
So we keep searching for words unspoken.
We cry inside,
And our feelings we hide.

~Chorus~
Lost in the night,
Our fears ignite.
We're trapped in this nest of snakes,
Holding onto our mistakes.
So we pray to our savior,
But he does not like our behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We long to be free,
But we are afraid of what that word may be.
With voices unheard,
They think us absurd.
We look for redemption,
But we know that we will always be an exemption.

~Chorus~
Lost in the shadows,
The lost children hang from the gallows.
We pray for peace,
But our sanity will just decrease.
So with thorns in our heart,
We prepare to rip our society apart.
