Lyrics

Children of The Night.

Verse 1
They run together like wolves in a pack.
Beyond the limit there's no turning back.
Living in the street waiting on their prey.
They dream of a change but there's no other way.
For the Children, Children of the night.
Children of the night.

Verse 2
There's a fire in their eyes they cannot disguise,
Burning angry and bright they live for the fight.
Living in the street, waiting on their prey,
They dream of a change but there's no other way.
For the Children, Children of the night.
Children of the night. . . of the night.

There's no turning back.
There's no turning back.

Bridge 2
Born to be free. Outcast society.
They feed on the hate.
Now it's too late...
Too late for the children.
Too late for the children.

Children of The Night.
Children of The Night.
Children of The Night.
Too late for the children.
Children of The Night.
Children of The Night.
Too late for the children.
Repeat and fade out.
Children of The Night.
