Golden Sunrise

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
 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
 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
