Death of Innocence - Steel Prophet

What was the world for me as a child

Full of innocence not yet wild

I thought people

All were good

The world was ordered it was understood

They put ideas in my head

Fairy tales were what they said

Soon I learned you all had hearts of black you beat

And robbed and raped me laughed behind my back

I thought the world mad I hated life

Itself I cursed the god they made and then shoved down my throat

I rebelled to them

All I’d make them pay before they fall

Death of innocence my values died

No reference cut off from my soul

The loss of heart leaves a blackened hole

Now I think I’m on a path searching for enlightenment

I sometimes feel I grasp the thread of eternity within my head

Feeds me power from the earth feel the logic my spirit rebirth
