Silent night, starless might,
man has staged his final fight,
there where cities used to be,
lie the ruins of reality,
sleeping forever in peace,
sleeping forever in peace....
Silent world, hole-y world,
all men's bombs have now been hurled,
no ones left to claim the prize,
no one's left to compromise,
no one's left to care,
no one's left to care.....
Silent man, lifeless man,
if only you had lent a hand,
if only love with mankind was shared,
if only somehow you could have cared,
if only for the children,
if only for the children.....
