Children Of The Sea Lyrics
In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, a final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky, woah-oh, mmm
We sailed across the air before we learned to fly
We thought that it could never end
We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run. Run!
Now it seems our world has come undone
Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be
Ooh they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, ooh, oh-ohh
We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played
Hiding in our corner of the world
Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore
Threw away the key and locked the door
Oh they say that it's over, yeah
And it just had to be
Yes they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, oh
In the misty morning, on the edge of time
We've lost the rising sun, the final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky
Oh they say that it's over
And it just had to be
Oh they say that it's over
Poor lost children of the sea, yeah
LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down
LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round
LOOK OUT OUT Out out! The sun is going black, black.
LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back
LOOK OUT!
We've lost the rising sun, a final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky, woah-oh, mmm
We thought that it could never end
We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run. Run!
Now it seems our world has come undone
And it just had to be
Ooh they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, ooh, oh-ohh
Hiding in our corner of the world
Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore
Threw away the key and locked the door
And it just had to be
Yes they say that it's over
We're lost children of the sea, oh
We've lost the rising sun, the final sign
As the misty morning rolls away to die
Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky
And it just had to be
Oh they say that it's over
Poor lost children of the sea, yeah
LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round
LOOK OUT OUT Out out! The sun is going black, black.
LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back
LOOK OUT!

This song is not about sex or drugs. It about growing up. Its about children becoming adults. Its about the end of childhood.

Its about how people might wish they could go back in time and become a child again, but that can never happen. Your born you live you die THE END
Hopefully you can have a good life

The greedy ones.
The greedy ones.
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.
Do not do magick you do not understand, Omri.
Technology without ethics.
Learning to run before you can walk.
Not seeing the forest for the trees.
Incredible cosmic powers... itty bitty living space.
Etc.
First, I found this on the net:
"Children of the Sea - there has been a lot of speculation that it is about Atlantis, but Dio has only spoke of it as a song about "ecological awareness".
So working off this basic direction, the song seems to be a commentary about mankind doing things before it truly understands the consequences of its action, ie. the reference to sailing across the air, before learning to fly, and thinking that this kind of thing would go on forever without a price to eventually pay for messing with the balance.
And finally, though we try to escape the world and darkening the sky by the millions, like locusts, we are caught in the maelstrom of the final convulsions of the Earth dying along with the Sun.
S.
Given the title of the song, I always wondered if "We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run" was a reference to how in our evolutionary history we swam (when you swim, you do glide above the ground) before we "learned to run" (or even have legs, for that matter).
@Lijemo Finally, somebody on the right track. This song is about the dinosaurs. Read the lyrics again and you\'ll see it fits perfectly.

i like how you made the x into two letters
I think it's about where Sabbath were at this point in their history. I'll go into more detail if anyone's interested. I think it's a pretty good lyric.
I think you should've ellaborated, I listened to this thinking about the old Sabbath lineup and Dio, and the opinion of people, and this song is great, so I thought it was about people comparing this sabbath with the "classic" black sabbath with ozzy osbourne

It's about destroying nature and ourselves with technology.
lordjackass - You really, really, really need to utilize those to squishy-like thingies situated below your forehead when attempting to study material of this magnitude. Seriously... "Sex and death and drugs..." Wake up!
And with that, I'm off. I just felt like badgering an ignorant. And I did. :P
Yeah seriously... he liek what, seckstuple-posted? Bloody fuck... HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! brain explodes
And it was just a joke between some guys, but maybe this was a warning to Kevin Costner about Waterworld...? XD nah, j/k...
