The End Of Innocence
We came out in our thousandOn that revolutionary dayEach person a heroAs the system crumbled away
We made a promiseTo be truthful and honestNo more would those liars carry the day
We proclaimed a new era of libertyAnd an end to the years of tyrannyWe shouted 'Down with corrupt ideology!Let us reclaim our own identity!'
Nothing could stop usNothing at allThe power of love would conquer all(The power of love would conquer all)
Who among us then would have thought itWith all our hearts and minds we'd have fought itBut in the end we can't deny that we bought itThe end of innocence comes to us all
The big bad enemy defeatedWe strove to get alongBut no longer was it so simpleTelling right from wrong
Broken friendshipsMade us cruelly awareFreedom is a serious affair(Freedom is a serious affair)
A page of history was turningFlames of hope within us burningBut in the end the liberty we were yearningWas far too much for all our spirits to bear
Who among us then would have thought itWith all our hearts and minds we'd have fought itBut in the end we can't deny that we bought itThe end of innocence comes to us all
