Children of the western world
Who could ever love you more
Than this dream you tuck in in fear
A joyful hiding place for tears
True to your hearts aswer this:
Would you ever rise against it?

I didn't want it to come to this
Just needed something to believe in
Now there are ashes in my lifeblood
And i hear the rage of those who crawl
I asked myself, out of the dream:
How could we ever come to accept this?

You ungrateful hypocrites
I gave you all there is
I made you fractions of the gods
In this age of slaves
Why will you not pay the price
And reap my rich rewards?
How could you betray my trust
And fight your own dream chance?

Children of the western world
Who did ever love you more
Than this cradle that held you so dear
A place of joy, unknown to fear
Hands on heart, now answer me:
How could you ever turn against me?

Children of the western world
You're as guilty as i am
For all the things i do for you
For all the things of which you're made
Of you i ask just one more thing
My time's come, now please stop me!
