The pain still grows
The red blood flows
In the shadow of innocence lost

All is lost, nothing gained
The ground below you; forever red stained
In the shadow of innocence lost

For everything in life
There is always a cost
And to leave the memories of you behind
I take my own life
In the shadow of innocence lost

Do you see my face?
Can you say my name?
Can you live with the price
of you're terrible game?

Played for my heart
And won for my soul

It blinds my eyes to the truth all can see.
That love can be found, but never by me.
The tears shed in anger, the tears shed in fear.
The tears shed for the loss of one once held dear.
It tears at my heart to bloodied to beat.
It closes me off from the good in all that I meet.
Shut out from the light, no will left to fight.
I look in the mirror, into my eyes.
And feel pity for the man who everyday dies.
But in a life filled with fear, I am...
