Part 4 - War Child
A survivor girl child living out her life in post apocalyptic earth

lyrics

The Barren Lands Part 4 - War child

She likes to watch a screen where pictures used to show. Em
They told her she’d be safe and to stay inside the shelter
How long, she doesn’t know, as time has stood still.
No difference in the day and night as the sky is always grey
Clinging to her broken doll, for it is all she has left
Long ago soldiers came with guns and took her family away.

Chorus
No memory of when she ever saw the sun with her own eyes.
But in her dreams it looked just like in the pictures
She remembers the stories told in the dark.. about the days gone by
About the trees and rolling hills, Waterfalls and the blue skies

And among the war torn ruins she sometimes likes to play..
Among the dust, ash and bones that now litter her way,
Always on the lookout… for the monsters that prey
Momentary existence, as if it was the last day

She’s a war torn baby
It’s a black n' white world

Stained in Filthy rags, A face washed with mud
She looks up for the sun, choked by the Clouds
Waiting for her Family to find their way home
Try to find a small hope.. in this desolate, lonely Shroud
