Текст песни: As the Children Laugh + перевод

There’s a grove of trees inside the mind

Where children play, who’ve lost their way

As they succumb to nightmare dreams

Fill the air with silent scream

A land alive where blood runs cold

As they are brought into the fold

Joining the ranks of Elysium

Back to the earth from which they’ve come

They invent games, playmates from Hell

They have drawn up from a well

They know that they’ll never go

Back to a place adults call home

Their ghouls and ghosts inhabit dolls

And place strange sounds inside the walls

Make the space 'neath cobwebbed beds

The resting place for the undead

They shriek and moan and burn and slash

And creak and boo and wail and gnash

Place fears thoughts inside your head

And make you wish you’d end up dead

You just might, and so beware

Of that grey shroud that climbs the stairs

You’re the thing on which it feeds

To fill its maw and sate its needs

For as it grinds your bones to meal

And turns your skull beneath the wheel

Six feet down is where you’ll lay

As the children laugh, the children play

The children laugh and children play

Children laugh and children play
