Innocence> [04:27.06] [04:27.95]I remember a time [04:31.60]My frail, virgin mind [04:35.77]Watched the crimson sunrise [04:40.32]Imagined what it might find [04:44.73]Life was filled with wonder [04:48.70]I felt the warm wind blow [04:52.99]I must explore the boundaries [04:57.05]Transcend the depth of winter's snow [05:00.67] [05:02.02]Innocence caressing me [05:06.57]I never felt so young before [05:11.53]There was so much life in me [05:16.08]Still I longed to search for more [05:23.66] [05:29.72]But those days are gone now [05:33.36]Changed like a leaf on a tree [05:37.23]Blown away forever [05:41.22]Into the cool autumn breeze [05:45.10]The snow has now fallen [05:48.65]And my sun's not so bright [05:52.65]I struggle to hold on [05:56.44]With the last of my might [06:01.96] [06:16.07]In my den of inequity [06:19.66]Viciousness and subtlety [06:23.71]Struggle to ease the pain [06:27.97]Struggle to find the same [06:31.81] [06:32.82]Ignorance surrounding me [06:37.38]I've never been so filled with fear [06:42.41]All my life's been drained from me [06:47.13]The end is drawing near...
