Age Of False Innocence Lyrics - Blind Guardian

Cut off the light 

Take a look 

There's nothing beyond but pain 

Suffer in the deepest void 

The flame of hope isgone 

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
