Death of Innocence Lyrics

Haunted by shadows that this life unfolds
Foolishly thinking we'd never grow old
Taking my chances, tempting my fate
Taking advantage, refueling my hate
Hiding away what we thought we owned
Holding so tightly we turned to stone
Gone in an instant, a thief in the night
Ruthlessly betrayal inflicted on mankind

Our eyes no longer see
The edge of the mystery
Lost in the wind, over and over again
Places we used to dream
A different reality
Faceless we fall
Death of the innocence lost

Steady and patient this passing of time
Slowly revealing our words seldom ryme
Beautiful creatures, unchosen ones
Hunted by wolves burning the sun
Fed to the fire and purged from the soul
Clinging to lies we worship and hold
Hopelessly failing, trying to find
The beauty and wonder hidden in their eyes

Our eyes no longer see
The edge of the mystery
Lost in the wind, over and over again
Places we used to dream
A different reality
Helplessly we fall
Death of the innocence lost

Chaos and fantasy vying to win
Steep is the random, original sin
Anticipating a cold icy stare
Met by a laughter beyond compare
Preciously jaded is this memory
We were once whole, we were complete
Shackled by fear, afraid of the light
Cast now upon them, coming back to life

Shining in their eyes, still alive
The eyes have longed to see
The edge of the mystery
Living therein, over and over again
Places we used to dream
A different reality
Slowly we fall
Death of the innocence lost

Pray for the innocent ones
