WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR INNOCENCE
SENSING IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE
LOOKING OVER THE SIDE OF THE FENCE
THERE LIES A MARBLE GARDEN

LOST IN ROWS OF WOOD AND STONE
KNOWING NOW THEY'LL NOT BE HOME
FOR THEY HAVE BECOME COLD, ALONE
THE SHORT LIFE HAS COME TO AN END

YOUR FUTURE TIMES DID LOOK SO BRIGHT
BUT NOW WE SEE JUST STARLESS NIGHT
IT SEEMS SOMEWHERE WE LOST OUR SIGHT
THE WATCHER ASLEEP AT HIS POST

THE STORM IS OVER CAN'T DRY YOUR EYES
IN DARKENED RAIN SOAKED APRIL SKIES
THUNDER CAN'T DROWN OUT THE CRIES
SILENTLY SCREAMS OUT THE HOST
OF ANGELS
OF ANGELS

CATHODE RAY REFLECTIONS
ELECTRON BEAM DECEPTIONS
MANGLED TRUTH
PERCEPTIONS OF
A WASTED YOUTH

BLAME IT ON ENTERTAINMENT
THE MEDIA OR WASTED TIME SPENT
ITS MEANINGLESS IS WHAT IS MEANT
YOUTHFUL TIMES CAN BE SO CRUEL

STEREOTYPED WITHOUT MUCH CHOICE
CAN NOT BE HEARD ABOVE THE NOISE
THE GROUP SHARES THE COMMON VOICE
EVEN WHEN YOU FOLLOW THEIR RULES

TOGETHER WE ALL FEEL SO POWERLESS
CHANGE IT NOW TO DESTROY THE REST
PROTECTIVE SHROUD SMOTHERS THE TEST
AS ANOTHER ABANDONS HIS POST

PROMISE ENDS WITH A WEAPONS BLAST
NOTHING LEARNED FROM PAINTED PAST
SOCIETY MOLD TO WHICH WE'RE CAST
SILENTLY WHISPERS THE HOST
OF DEMONS
OF DEMONS

CATHODE RAY REFLECTIONS
ELECTRON BEAM DECEPTIONS
MANGLED TRUTH
PERCEPTIONS OF
A WASTED YOUTH
