lyrics

Hey, hey, little child.
Happy as a slave with a golden smile.
And you're a Leni for your father's will.
Maybe you're in there.
Maybe you're not scared.
But a shadow could topple the wall.

They got you open.
Walking like you got a gift, but you're just a token.
You're white as a beautiful shroud.
You're as white as the man that runs this town.
Do they know you're nothing back home?
Heroes are easy to see, when the land is broken.

I hope you can find a way out.
The future's a pitch tar black from down here.
Color of the dream I had, misty blue and lilac too.
And a red girl choking.
I need the sun in its place.
Little eyes, it's all a cross on the wall.
For you, silence is just a game.
For you, there's nothing going.
