End Of Innocence Lyrics - Iced Earth

Through the essence of your smile 

makes this fight all worthwhile 

oh, the perseverance of your life 

There you were, by my side 

giving me strength through your love and pride 

she says carry on, carry on 

Oh, the stars, they shine so bright 

are they there for you and I? 

I know you see the light 

Carry on, be strong my son 

this is the end of innocence 

carry on, when I'm gone 

this is the end of innocence 

this is the end, my friend 

Sacrifice is all we have 

finding solace in your laugh 

the freedom will ease your pain 

washing tides and season change 

things will never be the same 

oh, she says carry on, carry on 

Carry on, be strong my son 

this is the end of innocence 

Carry on, when I'm gone 

this is the end of innocence 

this is the end 

Carry on, be strong my son 

this is the end of innocence 

carry on, when I'm gone 

this is the end of innocence 

this is the end 

Carry on, be strong my son 

this is the end of innocence 

carry on, when I'm gone 

this is the end of innocence
