We knew it would be like this, a tainted eden lie From now the serpents gather as they sentence men to die They welcome fallen paradise while haunting every breath But the broken, cold and desolate soul defies a righteous death For men in arms are soldiers, they fight for their belief The struggle never ending to find the prince of peace Come the time, the only crime is letting truth be heard When a stone inspires a castle, the meek forever feared My angel, be my guardian now Sweet angel, may the song be a sweet forgiving sound Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free We had to find a way to make the serpent shine The reaper sighs the fall of a man in a gilded temple shrine Then rise a golden future from the gold distorted past We say a prayer for the innocent in a dream too good to last My angel, fight to foe for me now Sweet, sweet angel, may the word be a sweet forgiving sound Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free Grant us now, the prophecy, the right to carry on Forgive us now, the truth, the battle for the rising sun Give us now, the prophecy, the gift of purity and show us now Show the door to set the sinner free
