Teach Your Children

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so becomes yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye

Teach your children well
Their fathers Hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they fixed the one you know by

Don't you ever ask them why
        If they told you, would cry
        So just look at them and sigh
        And know they love you

And you of tender years
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so please help them with yours
They seek the truth before they can die

Teach your parents well
Their children's Hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they fixed the one you know by

* Refrain
