When children start to go astray
They often go outside to play

In fields and woods where they can’t see
But that’s not where they’re meant to be

They can’t see past their noses then
The darkness blinds them once again

With hardened hearts they kill their brother
And turn against their only mother

Destruction waits around the bend
They’ve gone the way of wicked men

They will not turn and come back home
So in this lonely earth they’ll roam

They cannot stop; their worm won’t die
And all because they loved a lie
