Children of Decay

This is the dawning of a brand new day
 Close your eyes, try to make it go away
 We are what you've made us
 We are hollow as ghosts
 This is the turning of a new tide
 We are cold, we are dead inside
 Is that what you wanted?
 Is this the future you planned?
 History will never understand
 Just how life and death can walk hand-in-hand
 How when one man suffers we can turn away
 But that's all that's left for the children of decay
 These are the lies that we tell ourselves
 The deep disappointment that we know so well
 We are all that is left
 We are marginal loss
