childhoods end
i'd sail across the ocean
i'd walk a hundred miles
if i could make it to the end
oh just to see a smile
you see it in their faces
the sadness in their tears
the desperation and the anger
madness and the fear
no hope, no life, just pain and fear
no food, no love, just greed is here
starvation and the hunger
the suffering and the pain
the agonies of all-out war
when will it come again?
the struggle for the power
a tyrant tries again
just what the hell is going on?
when will it ever end?
no hope, no life, just pain and fear
no food, no love, just greed is here
you see the full moon float
you watch the red sun rise
we take these things for granted
but somewhere someone's dying
contaminated waters
pollution and decay
just waiting for disease to strike
oh will we learn someday?
no hope, no life, just pain and fear
no food, no love, no seed
childhood's end -
misplaced childhood albümünden sözleri fish*'e ait bir marillion parçası...
and it was morning
and i found myself mourning,
for a childhood that i thought had disappeared
i looked out the window
and i saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone
i'm not alone, i turned to the mirror
i saw you, the child, that once loved
the child before they broke his heart
our heart, the heart that i believed was lost
hey you, surprised? more than surprised
to find the answers to the questions
were always in your own eyes
do you realise that you give it on back to her?
but that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew
so untrue
for she's got to carry on with her life
and you've got to carry on with yours
so i see it's me, i can do anything
and i'm still the child
'cos the only thing misplaced was direction
and i found direction
there is no childhood's end
you are my childhood friend, lead me on
hey you, you've survived. now you've arrived
to be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
now you realise, that you've got to get out of here
you've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory
you want to change the world
you'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
but that was looking backward
now you've found the light
you, the child that once loved
the child before they broke his heart
our heart, the heart that i believed was lost
so it's me i see, i can do anything.
i'm still the child
'cos the only thing misplaced was direction
and i found direction
there is no childhood's end
i am your childhood friend, lead me on -

aynı zamanda letters from fire albümünden bir the crest parçası...
i write a hundred books to tell you how much
i dive a thousand times and float with the rush
i dig a million graves to know how it feels
i take a hundred pills and kick till i bleed
i'll take you downhill
behold your childhood's end
i'll take you downhill
i've got a symphony trapped inside my head
sometimes a note falls out and pain paints my pillow red
so don't approach me if you meet me late at night
because childhoods over when you know you're gonna die
i'll take you downhill
behold your childhood's end
i'll take you downhill
behold your childhood's end -

pink floydun parçasının sözleri şöyledir.
you shout in your sleep.
perhaps the price is just too steep.
is your conscience at rest
if once put to the test?
you awake with a start
to just the beating of your heart.
just one man beneath the sky,
just two ears, just two eyes.
you set sail across the sea
of long past thoughts and memories.
childhood's end, your fantasies
merge with harsh realities.
and then as the sail is hoist,
you find your eyes are growing moist.
all the fears never voiced
say you have to make your final choice.
who are you and who am i
to say we know the reason why?
some are born; some men die
beneath one infinite sky.
there'll be war, there'll be peace.
but everything one day will cease.
all the iron turned to rust;
all the proud men turned to dust.
and so all things, time will mend.
so this song will end. -
albüm kapağına bakmadan "bu parçayı yazsa yazsa steve harris yazar" diyebileceğimiz hoş bir iron maiden parçası.

türkçeye son nesil olarak çevrilen kitap. can yayınlarından çıkmıştı. başındaki "bu kitapta yazılanlar, yazarın kendi görüşleri değildir." ibaresi dikkat çeker. çünkü, uzayın veya uzaydan gele(bile)ceklerin sandığı(mız) gibi "dost" olmayabileceğini söyler, o kara deryaya açılmadan önce durup da biraz kendimize bakmamızı öğütler clarke. marslıları şeytan tasviriyle okuyucuya sunması da bu nedenledir. ama, başta da dediğim gibi, bunlar kendi görüşleri değildir clarke'ın; o beklemektense; birilerinin gelmesini veya birilerinin gitmesini tercih eder.
