- Children Of The Moon LyricsPay no attention to the writing on the wall
The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could
Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land
We let the blind man lead the way too long
Easy to see where we went wrong
Nothing to live for, nothing to die for
We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children, children of the moon watch the world go by
Children, children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky
Children, children of the moon watch it all go by
Children, children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could
Follow the pilgrim to the Temple of the Dawn
The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone
We let the madmen write the golden rules
We were no more than mortal fools
Nothing to live for, nothing to die for
We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children, children of the moon watch the world go by
Children, children of the moon hiding from the sky
The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could
Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land
We let the blind man lead the way too long
Easy to see where we went wrong
Nothing to live for, nothing to die for
We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children, children of the moon watch the world go by
Children, children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky
Children, children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could
Follow the pilgrim to the Temple of the Dawn
The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone
We let the madmen write the golden rules
We were no more than mortal fools
Nothing to live for, nothing to die for
We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children, children of the moon watch the world go by
Children, children of the moon hiding from the sky

✔️
When we look deeper into its meaning, the Alan Parsons Project's 'Children of the Moon' is a reflective piece that talks about a universe in which mankind has been led astray, resorting to false prophets, and experiencing a void. The burdensome lyrics are reminiscent of a tragedy where so many humans find themselves lost even in a world where the wisest have failed, thus turning the children of the moon into mere spectators of a world that is shrouded in darkness and doubt among other things. The main message delivered through the Children of the moon lyrics is that despair, angst, solitude, reflection, and social commentary are inevitable consequences of a fallen world. Yet, at the same time, the song showcases the brightness of innocence and hopelessness, and losing one's self in the reality that surrounds death. The lyrics are rich in themes of hopelessness and existential contemplation that may not be easily accepted by very young children unless accompanied by their parents. However, there are no strong language, violent or explicit scenes that could justify a stricter rating.
