The Stealer Of Innocence ft. Out Of Orion Lyrics

I can't remember

How old I was

When the Steeler

First came to me

But I know that every time

he left

He left a bit of misery

And, as each year progressed And died

I felt my heart grow cold inside

Being young

I guess I never knew

Just what was happening to me

But somehow

My dreams disappeared

Disappeared for eternity

And I cried

As life began to change

Into something new and strange

The Steeler of Innocence

Crept into my room years ago

when I was only a boy

And he whispered of the things Little children should never know

And he killed my childhood joy

I can't remember how sad I was When the Steeler at last left me

But I know my eyes were open

Open to life's reality

And as each year passed

And I grew old

Imagination turned dead and cold

I will never forgive the Steeler For the things that happened to me

But now

He has come to my children

Children I thought could be free

And I cry as their dreams dissolve

With every secret of life they solve

And the Steeler of Innocence

Creeps into darkened rooms at night

Talking to each girl and boy

And he whispers of secrets

Each adult hides out of sight And he ends their childhood joy

But maybe

Someday

He won't come like before

And children will dwell

In fantasy once more
