Star child, he was a star child
Into the darkness he was sent by parents who were ignorant
Tied down to his mother's strings, unable to be anything
Muzzled by the things he hears, his questions fall upon men in fear
And the father thinking, word comes first, ain't got the time to quench her thirst
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Once he was a child, a puny one child, a child of clay
Shake that moment into her, it is too dead
But who is to blame for this child of clay?
And going out into the street at night, the answer is he may meet
A sick and twisted mind he shares, a searching question his heart bears
And from the dregs the answers find their way into his supple mind
In time the planet's seeds will grow into a twisted vine bloom
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Once he was a child, a puny one child, a child of clay
Shake that moment into her, it is too dead
But who is to blame for this child of clay?
And now his ageless days begin to drip into solid sin
And soon his despise turns to hate as the stamp of life seals his fate
And so the night conceals his name and day sweeps off his shame
Deprived of love and brought by fear, a feeling that the end is near
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And once he was a child, a puny one child, a child of clay
Shake that moment into her, it is too dead
Tell me who is to blame for this child of clay?
Once he was a stone child, a child of clay
Once he was a stone child, a child of clay
Once he was a stone child, a child of clay
Once he was a stone child, a child of clay
