The Music Box 歌词

The music box is all that's left in the empty house Must've left it when they moved out In a hurry to flee the town Armoured tanks broke through all the soldier's ranks You can be sure they weren't shooting blanks From bodies laid out on the ground There's a song your father had sung When you were just knee high Now a soldier plays the same tune From the toy you left behind Something to remind you Something to remind you Burnt to black there's a face you don't recognise Just a doll with hollow eyes And a feeling you can't describe In factories, toys are made by the company Who create the killing machine So the planet can rest at ease There's a story you had to hear When you couldn't sleep at all Now the pages are burning In some sad unholy war Something to remind you Something to remind you Something to remind you The ones you left behind you The music box plays a song that I used to love But now I can't remember what it was For my memory has faded
