End of Innocence

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 --- End of Innocence - Iced Earth
