Sins Of Idealism Lyrics - After Forever

(Child) Hello father, hello mother; 

there is so much I don't get 

Please don't be mad at me; I will try harder, 

I'll really do the best I can 

(Mother) That's not enough 

You're the cause of my domestic captivity 

(Child) And I will close my eyes and fantasize 

of a world that's not so cold 

(Mother) That's how it will be 

Suffer the causes of my personal misery 

I've sacrificed my beauty, 

my freedom, my dreams, 

the independent me 

(Child) Hello father, hello mother; 

Don't blame me for things I didn't do 

Yes, I will go now and I'll be silent; 

please stop your screaming, and love me 

(Mother) That's all you can see 

Speak of love while you've ruined 

what's meant to be 

(Child) And then I'll close my eyes 

to fantasize of a world 

Where I can be free 

And free to be 

(Contemplative) Sinner or righteous, 

the line is so thin 

Can you condemn it 

Can you be the one to judge it all 

Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life? 

(Child) Hello father, hello mother; 

forgive me for standing in your way 

I just wanted someone who'd hold me and listen, 

are these illusions, are they 

(Mother) Only fantasies? 

Imagine how my life could have been 

I would still have my beauty, 

my freedom, my dreams, 

the independent me 

(Contemplative) Our course in life is a path we must take alone 

No one can choose what to do, 

only you, so the sins we commit are the struggles within 

There is no judge to decide what is right, what is wrong 

Tell me, can you live in freedom 

knowing that your choice hurt someone 

(Father) Once we had a life and now we have you 

The saviour of love is a catastrophe 

I'll leave you both if I must give up my dreams 

My chances aren't here with you 

I won't be chained because of this 

The sins of all, the sinner in me 

I follow my dreams, you call it blasphemy 

If my ideals are sins 

To me they are the strength within 

Then I shall stay a sinner 

(Child) I can be free 

And free to be 

(Contemplative) Sinner or righteous, 

the line is so thin 

Can you condemn it 

Can you be the one to judge it all 

Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life?
