Sins of Idealism Songtext
von After Forever

Hello father, hello mother
There is so much I don′t get
Please don't be mad at me; I will try harder
I′ll really do the best I can
(That's not enough
You're the cause of my domestic captivity
And I will close my eyes and fantasize
Of a world that′s not so cold
That′s how it will be
Suffer the causes of my personal misery
I've sacrificed my beauty
My freedom, my dreams
The independent me
Hello father, hello mother
Don′t blame me for things I didn't do
Yes, I will go now and I′ll be silent
Please stop your screaming, and love me
That's all you can see
Speak of love while you′ve ruined
What's meant to be


And then I'll close my eyes
To fantasize of a world
Where I can be free
And free to be
Sinner or righteous
The line is so thin
Can you condemn it
Can you be the one to judge it all
Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life?
Hello father, hello mother
Forgive me for standing in your way
I just wanted someone who′d hold me and listen
Are these illusions, are they
Only fantasies?
Imagine how my life could have been
I would still have my beauty
My freedom, my dreams
The independent me
Our course in life is a path we must take alone
No one can choose what to do
Only you, so the sins we commit are the struggles within
There is no judge to decide what is right, what is wrong
Tell me, can you live in freedom
Knowing that your choice hurt someone
Once we had a life and now we have you
The savior of love is a catastrophe
I′ll leave you both if I must give up my dreams
My chances aren't here with you
I won′t be chained because of this
The sins of all, the sinner in me
I follow my dreams, you call it blasphemy
If my ideals are sins
To me they are the strength within
Then I shall stay a sinner
I can be free
And free to be
Sinner or righteous
The line is so thin
Can you condemn it
Can you be the one to judge it all
Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life?
