ATOMIC LULLABY

Lyricist: Kellie Larson | Catalog Reference System Tracking Code: #1
[Verse 1]
The laughter is now replaced by cries of loss and heavy tears
For children caught in war, overwhelmed with all their fear
No more bedtime stories, no soft songs for them to sing
No longer warm and snug, tucked safely into dream
Just a terror on the face of every young thing
[Hook 1]
Run, little children, into the night
Don’t look back and stay out of sight
[Chorus]
Cause the talks have all failed, the peace is now gone
No way to go back, the fighting moves on
When everyone has nukes and buttons are pressed
If everyone dies, then who cares who is best
[Verse 2]
Now small feet are running, from blasts they take flight
Through acrid gray smoke that turns day into night
The air tastes of copper, of sulfur and stone
The scent of charred cedar, of a house once called home
They used to run to their daddy, as he walked through the door
Now running from rubble, from a life that's no more
[Chorus]
Cause the talks have all failed, the peace is now gone
No way to go back, the fighting moves on
When everyone has nukes and buttons are pressed
If everyone dies, then who cares who is best
[Bridge]
A deafening boom, a blinding white flash
Ate everything on its plate, swallowed all in its path
Campfire crackle from roads burning ash
The world held its breath, those children took their last
What remains is a small white shoe, its lace still tied
Under hot twisted metal, where it silently hides
[Hook 2]
Run, little children, eyes up and don't look down
Be mindful of the neighbors who slumber on the ground
[Outro]
What about the children, who count on us all?
The burden they will carry, as they watch it all fall
What about the children, who didn't pick the fight?
Leaders who clashed hard, then turned out the lights
Run little children, go out and have a blast
There’s a new game of rosies, with black shadows forever cast
What about the children? It doesn't end at all
The burden they will carry, as they watch it all fall
One by one, they all start to fall... The children of war.
