The End of Innocence Lyrics
Bite Your Tongue -
The blackened sun will curse the moon
Skies of fire - nothing's worth a damn
Calculate - anticipate your every move
Beware - the ruthless hearts of man
Feel my pain - my words are in vain
I belive it's the end of innocence
Don't look away - hear what I say
I believe it's the end of innocence
Cut and splice, a fierce device -
- Degenerate -
Sons of light - synthetic gods of man
Crushed beneath the dragon beast - breathing hate
Your blood, your blood is on their hands
Feel my pain - my words are in vain
I belive it's the end of innocence
Don't look away - hear what I say
I believe it's the end of innocence
The world is dying
The precious sands of time are running out
We are the fallen
Made obselete - methodically phased out
...feel my pain
Feel my pain - my words are in vain
I belive it's the end of innocence
Don't look away - hear what I say
I believe it's the end
It's the end of innocence
The blackened sun will curse the moon
Skies of fire - nothing's worth a damn
Beware - the ruthless hearts of man
I belive it's the end of innocence
Don't look away - hear what I say
I believe it's the end of innocence
- Degenerate -
Sons of light - synthetic gods of man
Your blood, your blood is on their hands
I belive it's the end of innocence
Don't look away - hear what I say
I believe it's the end of innocence
The precious sands of time are running out
We are the fallen
Made obselete - methodically phased out
...feel my pain
I belive it's the end of innocence
Don't look away - hear what I say
I believe it's the end
It's the end of innocence

What a great song. This song is the basis for the entire idea of this album: we have become too reliant on technology, and as great of an asset it is to humanity, it is turning us into something less than human.
I also think this song is from the viewpoint of the robots: the lines "Beware - the ruthless hearts of man" and "Sons of light - synthetic gods of man" are referring to the robots, as they are 'synthetic'. Or, perhaps, we have come to "worship" all of our technological devices, hence "synthetic gods".
The end of innocence is a very powerful line, and its very true for modern society. Our children are not as innocent as we once were. More and more time is spent inside, away from real social interaction, exercise, and everything else natural.
I completely agree with this, I also like how you pointed out that parts of this song are from the view of the machines, it never occured to me before :)
