Innocence Lost

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
