Childhood's End (2015 Remastered Version)

Iron Maiden

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 smileYou see it in their faces
The sadness in their tears
The desperation and the anger
Madness and the fearNo hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is hereStarvation 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 hereYou see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted
But somewhere someone's dyingContaminated 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
