Lyrics
The Killers of the Dream © MJB Jun 25/07
(The Tie That Binds)
There’s a mystery in the tie that binds
While there’s no burden on your golden shores
But chased by change your past creeps up from behind
To make old bonds even stronger than before
(Chorus)
They ain’t what they seem
They don’t say what they mean
So keep your eyes forever
On the killers of the dream
When you were a child love was in your hands
God was in everything that love would ever mean
So precious and beautiful was your promised land
Still you kept an eye out for the killers of the dream
As time slipped by idyllic life began to change
Those stranger’s promises were not what they seemed
Their jungles and their zoos soon became so rearranged
And they were on their way to be the killers of the dream
Now the dream is slipping from the children of today
No one needs to tell them, no word be said aloud
It’s just a vague thing weaving in around their play
Like graveyard ghosts and demons in the forming clouds
Beneath soft words and smiles a burden’s on them all
The children know this trouble could take a heavy toll
They’re menaced by the feelings that their world could quickly fall
This haunted childhood is in every simple soul
