Iron Maiden - Childhood's End

Album: Fear Of The Dark

Childhood’s End lyrics:

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
