Good old mom and dad
Pulled the plug in December
A quarter century erased forever
The way you stare at me
It's obvious to see
Our candle's fading
And I don't dry your eye
When it starts raining
And it looks like rain
Go look around
No place is safe and sound
No sanctuary waits
Beyond these rusty gates
It's up to us
To carry on what's left
This time it's down to us
You're my last chance at this
Don't trust another easy road
That's just the foolish gold
It's up to us
If your fractured heart
Won't receive its healing
We'll repeat the mistakes
Our parents' generation is revealing
But don't you take away
The reason I can say
Life is worth liven'
Just search your mind
And find time for forgiving
Go look around
No place is safe and sound
No sanctuary waits
Beyond these rusty gates
It's up to us
To carry on what's left
This time it's down to us
You're my last chance at this
Don't trust another easy road
That's just the foolish gold
It's up to us
