Children Forlorn
Axenstar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[M and L: T. Eriksson]

Welcome to this tortured place of life
Where the truth is locked behind the doors and swept aside
We are the ones that are born to face this hell
What will become of our future, only time will tell

[BRIDGE]
Lost all control since the sacred times of old
They believe in what they preach but we're out of reach

[CHORUS]
We are the children forlorn
Nobody cares 'bout the scorn
We live and bleed, we die in need
We are the children forlorn

Our lives been beaten down with time
If you could look into our future emptiness you'd find
Another day, another soul astray
We always seem to wonder "is this the only way?"

Ther will come a day when all the fools will sail away
All the promises they made to you are swept away




And when the smoke has cleared and you see us standing there
You will never be in chains again, yeath

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Axenstar's song Children Forlorn depict a world where truth is elusive and the future is uncertain. The opening lines welcome the listener to a "tortured place of life," one where reality is hidden behind closed doors and ignored. Those who inhabit this world are "born to face this hell," and the song questions what hope there is for their future. The chorus paints a stark picture of a marginalized and ignored group - the "children forlorn" who live and bleed but ultimately die in need. Despite the challenges, there is a glimmer of hope towards the end of the song. The lyrics suggest that someday, the "fools" who have made empty promises will be gone, and the marginalized will be free from chains.


The song's lyrics are powerful and emotional, focusing on themes of hopelessness, uncertainty, and marginalization. The lyrics suggest a world that is bleak and devoid of hope, where those who are born into a life of suffering have little chance of improving their circumstances. However, there is also a sense of resilience and determination in the song, with the lyrics suggesting that even in the darkest of times, it is still possible to find hope and freedom if one is willing to fight for it.
