End of Innocence Songtext

von 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, my friend
