King Midas - Innocence

This world is sadistic-
Cut-throat; back stab
Why can't we be like children,
Maintain our innocence

These people are so hungry
For power and for trophies
A lust for blood
What happened to blissful ignorance?

Tyrants and Pirates
Boast with greed
Morals are squandered
Petty Insolence

Wars are waged
As martyrs are made
Patriots hang
While pleading innocence.

When will this world repent?
When will it return to innocence?

King Midas
