Blind Guardian - Age Of False Innocence lyrics

Cut of 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 sun.

for a moment it seemed,

there`s space beyond the spheres

Aflame the night.

So clear and bright.

Unstable light.

Now there`s something 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

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

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
