Innocent look
In black, starved eyes.
See - they are wolves,
Beyond the children smiles.

Hope for the future those children will build
From the present of ashes and dust.
Time is running so fast that it looks like it is standing
still.
What will they leave in this world they are building for
us?

  [chorus]
  They are the children we raise -
  They are the next generation.
  They are the future we face -
  Both our salvation and damnation.
  They are The Black Poodles.

They want to level what was to the ground,
We've become their new targets now.
We are becoming a part of the past - they are in, we are
out.
We must be strong, and I know we will make it somehow.

  [chorus]
  They are the children we raise -
  They are the next generation.
  They are the future we face -
  Both our salvation and damnation.
  They are The Black Poodles.

Prepare for the worst,
Hope for the best;
Prepare thyself,
For they shall inherit the earth.
