lyrics

Who am I but a son of the devil?
Who are you but an angel from hell?
Who are we but oblivion children?
Running up and down the same old hill

Cast aside by the ones who have raised us
And brought us into this world
But in your eyes I see the same isolation
That fills the void in my soul

We are the last generation that will
See the light of day on this earth
And in the minutes before we die
We’ll realize we were doomed from birth

Chorus
Oblivion Children
Standing on the edge
Hold on to nothing but time
Rotting away in our chambers
Slowly, Waiting
For the day we all die.

Insanity is our measure of freedom
Rebellion my sense of self
And apathy is our daily agenda
For us there is nothing else

I’ve got no plans for the future because
Who knows if the future will come
And you and I, we’ll just watch the sky
Til they blow us to bits with a bomb

(Chorus)

Watch us crumble as we stand and wait
There’s no hope of being saved

This is not ours to fix; we inherit it
We are not in control; were irrelevant
Apathy over greed, cause we’re sick of it
We’re just children on the edge of oblivion

THIS IS NOT OURS TO FIX; we inherit it
WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL; were irrelevant
APATHY OVER GREED, cause we’re sick of it
We’re just children on the edge…

Who am I but a son of the devil?
Who are you but an angel from hell?
Who are we but oblivion children?
Running up and down the same old hill

Cast aside by the ones who have raised us
And brought us into this world
But in your eyes I see the same isolation
That fills the void in my soul

(Chorus x2)
