Innocence Lost
My innocent world has been stolen
Irradiated and replaced
By an insidious, icy reality
My childlike ways gone
Destroyed by the dark demon of war
My world is now the world of the warrior
Ruled by the codes of duty and honor
A world of deadly conflicts and deadly consequences
My soul once so light and airy
Is heavy and tied down
With the knowledge
I'll never see my innocent world again
