Cover art for Sigh Your Children lyrics by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

I totally agree with sean7711 that this song is about telling kids their idols will be gone and fallen. However, I should mention that after a soul-sucking break up with a person I was in mad love with, all I had left were my feelings that I knew I had to turn to stone and throw all of them out the door. That was my mantra for a year.
