Innocence
Innocence, my lord? Innocence... nay
It belongs not in this time, that word you say
For were it that innocence still could be found
Would not pure unicorns, here, still abound?

Around our pillars of evil we have built
That we reside on in corruption and guilt
I see no remains of the chivalrous age
Can you not see? Innocence hath no strength against rage!

Do not use the word lightly, I beg of thee
Do not speak of innocence, please heed my plea
My lord, it does bring great pain to my heart
To hear of what we may never again be a part.
