Lyrics The Flower Kings

The Flower Kings

The End Of Innocence

And now, you're a soldier of fortune and fame

They say, you're a knight with no number no name

And now.....that you've come to the end of the road

Step back, step into the fold

And what, if you call this a home of the brave

They say that you've got to have sinned to be saved

Past days of Sunday school enter your mind

Lost in your nursery crimes

The nursery angels set the world on fire

A rocketeer couldn't get much higher

Moms little angels with their deadly toys

In battlefield games with the boys,

Armed to teeth and "Arnoldized"

Now, shut your ears and close your eyes

The guardian angels turned his face away

This child's gone astray

Yes this one's gone astray...

Left at the chessboard, childhoods end

King of the playground, your move again

Wooden horses and heart of steel

But this time it's for real

This time it's for real...
