We're sheltered from the sunlight
In the shade beneath the tree
We hide behind the shadow

Like an orphaned refugee

The apple tree of knowledge

Shed its fruit along the way
The injury is fading
But the hunger's here to stay


Until the day
When there's no, memory

Of what we used to be

Golden sunrise

Burned your eyes
Filled your dark skies
Made you blind


The heads all turn to darkness
When the sun engulfs the sky

The brightness overwhelming
To the unadjusted eyes


We're taught to follow blindly
Like there's nothing here to see
A slave to some philosophy

Will somehow make you free

And you will be

So gladly handcuffed
Enlightened from above


[Chorus]

With ignorance a virtue

A question is a sin,
Is there no remedy for
the state that we are in?


With knowledge on a leash
It's like a terminal disease

And we won't be awake to see that we are fading out

[Chorus]


Another day in darkness for the ones who've seen the light
Broken eyes are shining in the stillness of the night

They never see the beauty of the world as it is
Made you blind
