Age of false innocence
par Blind Guardian
lyricscopy.com
Cut off the light, take a look
There´s nothing beyond but pain
Suffer in the deepest void
The flame of hope is gone
What have I done?
Denied the father and the son
For a moment it seemed
There´s space beyond the spheres
Aflame the night
So clear and bright
Unstable light
(You´ve been sacrificed in fear)
Now there´s one thing for sure
I´m not afraid anymore
Day after day we´ve been fixed in this bowl for so long
For ages we´re captured in shells and crystallized walls
Predestined or punished? By Man or God?
I cannot, I will not
Deny It´s false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take it away from me)
(And) for a while astronomy has moved the Earth
And we´ve turned around the Sun
(Sanctum Officium)
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
"We know for sure you´re lying
Would you like to mess with holy science
You know the fear of dying
Would it be worth it to hear you crying"
I´ve slaughtered truth and I´ve shattered my heart
Far too long I have played with hellfire
And science has turned into madness
But I should have taken it higher
So I feel, so I feel
Like Judas must have felt before
That Wednesday night near by the tree
I cannot, I will not
Deny It´s false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take It away from me)
Day after day we will gratefully suffer for more
Predestined´s our part so we bleed in the name of God
Don´t believe in their eternity
We´re still held in blindness
And I´ve been turned into a liar
If there is no heaven there won´t be release
I cannot, I will not
Deny It´s false innocence
(I cannot) I will not
The age of false innocence
(I cannot) I will not
Deny It´s false innocence
(I cannot) I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take It away from me)
There´s nothing beyond but pain
Suffer in the deepest void
The flame of hope is gone
What have I done?
Denied the father and the son
For a moment it seemed
There´s space beyond the spheres
Aflame the night
So clear and bright
Unstable light
(You´ve been sacrificed in fear)
Now there´s one thing for sure
I´m not afraid anymore
Day after day we´ve been fixed in this bowl for so long
For ages we´re captured in shells and crystallized walls
Predestined or punished? By Man or God?
I cannot, I will not
Deny It´s false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take it away from me)
(And) for a while astronomy has moved the Earth
And we´ve turned around the Sun

Has made me believe
Has made me believe
