The Age Of False Innocence
Blind Guardian

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 sun

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 the 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


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
