a lamentation for innocence
Lament (Photo credit: miss mass)
a lamentation for innocence
when i was a child
i believed
i believed in God
in the Flag
in Freedom
i spake as a child
and acted accordingly
but gradually
the scales fell from my eyes
(O that they were still there and i had my innocence)
the scales fell from my eyes
and i saw through all the lies
and now
no longer believing the fairy tales of my youth
no longer believing in anything
i speak as a Man
where only those that still believe
the lies that they are fed
can find succor
and i lament
i believed
in the Flag
in Freedom
and acted accordingly
the scales fell from my eyes
(O that they were still there and i had my innocence)
the scales fell from my eyes
and i saw through all the lies
no longer believing the fairy tales of my youth
no longer believing in anything
i speak as a Man
the lies that they are fed
can find succor
