The Forgotten Children Lyrics by Marlinspike

Old Scores & New Horizons

2008

[Verse 1]
The tides of change have passed them by
The sky is red and I don't know why
Long were the days when I laboured in vain
Gone was my mind when they were slain
They lived their days like a fire in the wind
They were evil, they had sinned
[Chorus]
The forgotten children bit the hand
That fed them well in the promised land
The forgotten kids that no one knows
Left no memories but chose
To take the wider path to hell
So down below, the children fell
Underneath our feet they dwell
Ignored by all, forgotten well
[Verse 2]
For lies they speak, and truth they offend
Became their downfall thus they descend
Deaf to logic, blind and rotten
Forgot, therefore they were forgotten
[Chorus]
The forgotten children bit the hand
That fed them well in the promised land
The forgotten kids that no one knows
Left no memories but chose
To take the wider path to hell
To down below, the children fell
Underneath our feet they dwell
Ignored by all, forgotten well
[Bridge]
To speak of them remains taboo
Them for me and I.O.U
The sand on which they walk is quick
Spoke a forgein tongue to lick
Standing over the trapdoor
It's like they're coming back for more
She's so fake I can't pretend her
If they're forgotten, why do I remember?
[Chorus]
The forgotten children bit the hand
That fed them well in the promised land
The forgotten kids that no one knows
Left no memories but chose
To take the wider path to hell
To down below, the children fell
Underneath our feet they dwell
Ignored by all, forgotten well
