The Age Of False Innocence

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)
