This is the place that the children play
Scavenging and running free day after day
Never do they rest nor do they cease
They just dance and play among the trees
So silent are they you won't hear a peep
But the assassin man comes swiftly does he creeps
In the eyes of the children they see nothing wrong
But the assassin man won't leave them for long
The children never hide for the lives
The assassin man strikes and first child dies
He lurks in the shadows and silently taunts
And you're left to wonder 'Where have all the children gone'?
