The Lost Room

[Verse 1]

Sent away to school

We were taught to march and shoot and take our discipline in teams

They trained us to be hard

For cruelty and manhood are synonymous, it seems

And we knew camaraderie

[Chorus]

In the Lost Room, our hideaway

We would play the strangest games that any boy might like to play

In the Lost Room, both night and day

Candles flickered, casting shadows on the monsters and their prey

[Verse 2]

Mother, I wrote to you

But your answers only said that it's important to be brave

Father was far away

In a corner of the empire wherе we never shall bе slaves

For we know camaraderie

[Chorus]

In the Lost Room a boy could see

How survival of the fittest meant destruction of the weak

In the Lost Room, a tyranny

Was imposed by those who crowed they'd never turn the other cheek

[Verse 3]

Crash and then again

But the servants cleaning dormitories can't hear what we say

Crack, it’s only pain

And important to be disciplined when war is on the way

They say

We will obey

[Chorus]

In the Lost Room, our hideaway

We would play the strangest games that any boy might like to play

In the Lost Room, both night and day

Candles flickered, casting shadows on the monsters and their prey

In the Lost Room a boy could see

How survival of the fittest meant destruction of the weak

In the future, as time would tell

Running riot under orders would create a living hell

[Outro]

Lost

Mother, I’m lost

Lost

Mother, I’m lost
