Lyrics: Marko Latva-Nevala
Music: Marko Latva-Nevala
Back and rose
Chalk and dust
Innocent eyes
Dreams and trust
Shared the bench
Shared the day
No one saw the darker way
Books and maps
Simple plans
future held in small Young hands
laughs were loud
Future's wide
Truth and power
Side by side hey
Years went fast
Ties grew thin
Smiles turned sharp
Games turned grim
From the class to the throne
Cold decisions carved in stone
Voices loud fear they spread
Promises made
People bled
lines were drawn
Borders burned
All the lessons left unlearned
How did hope turn to fearΒ
How did truth disappear
From those halls to iron rule
When did power make them cruel
From young minds to iron hands
Shaping wars across the land
Power speaks people fall
Echoes from their classroom hall
From chalk dust to dark schemes
Shattered all those childhood dreams
lead us now
Shadows cast
haunted by their broken past
