Innocence

Innocence.
It's what they cry for.
Innocence.
It's what they'd die for.

Taken from them to snuff out other's pains.
Their life is a gamble,
and their happiness a charade.

Innocence.
They lie for it everyday.
Innocence.
They pretend that everything is ok.

Sometimes, for the briefest moment, it's all ok.
But then the angry fire is started again,
and it's back to the devil's game.

Innocence.
It's what they deserve.
Innocence.
Without it there will be no soul to preserve.

Innocence.
