“Innocence Was Long Forgotten” Lyrics:

Behind the lines of broken
Sapphires still shine so brightly
From the eyes of fallen
Reminding of Eden we left behind

And I fall, with you
Like rain we fall on Earth tonight

Innocence was long forgotten
As we walk the garden
And touched the fire
Broke the seal unbroken
In front of Gods forgotten we loved
And held the night

Across the time, still longing
Entwine, divine sky island
And we fall, together now
Like rain we fall on Earth tonight

Innocence was long forgotten
As we walk the garden
And touched the fire
Broke the seal unbroken
In front of Gods forgotten we loved
And held the night

And our…

Innocence was long forgotten
As we walk the garden
And touched the fire
Broke the seal unbroken
In front of Gods forgotten we loved
And held the night

  • Thanks for the feedback. Just wait for the next single. Meanwhile keep streaming the new song if you like it. If you don’t, our early albums are available on streaming platforms too.

    I am with StS since The Morning Never Came and I will be with them until our last day. They never cease to amaze me …
  • I absolutely love the lyrics. The pain of loss and the beauty of memory. "To grieve deeply is to have loved fully". My condolences to Juha and wishing all the best for him and the rest of the band.

    I started listening to STS in 2010 and your music really touches me to this day, especially the first albums. This new single it´s cool but didn't really touch me hard this time, but I respect the band's change and its maturity, because the important thing for the artist is to be happy with what they are producing. May all STS members be well and happy with their work. I will wait for the new album for sure. Cheers from Brazil.

    I've followed you guys for almost 20 years, and this is the first time I've been disappointed by something you put out. I had my fears when you announced Dan would produce this, and they came true. I can hear an amazing StS track hiding in there somewhere behind all that crappy production. It's like the soul was taken completely out of the song and turned into a generic pop metal song. I really hope the rest of the album isn't like this. You guys had a flawless formula before, and all the talent you ever needed. I hope you don't let a crappy producer ruin your unique sound and that this wasn't the label pushing him in. All said, I will always respect and support all the work you've put out over the years.
  • Suddenly, everyone is a sound engineer and music producer in here. I'll just keep enjoying the music. Thank you StS for making the last 20ish years of my life better with your music. Love the new sound and you breaking boundaries once again. <3

    Been a fan of STS since 2004. I was one of the few people that came to see them play in early 2006 in Copenhagen. I like a lot of their albums. I do not care that much for this new song. If this is their new style, then so be it. I will always have their previous albums to fall back on.
  • After hearing the overproduced Bring Me The Horizon album I was afraid of Dan's involvement in this album. Not super sold on this track
  • This song has potential to be great. But that drum sound... Almost sounds like electronic drums. Overall very modern sound and I am not sure if its good thing. Still high hopes for new album, though!
  • @ChadDalzell
    I really like this song 🎵! Yeah it's definitely a very different approach for STS but it's a great evolution IMHO. I'm eagerly awaiting the full album guys!! 🤘🤘
  • @Knappen82
    Nah. I really try to like their music, but I can never get that same feeling, that I got from the first three albums. Still love seeing them live, and have done so about 16 times, and will continue going to shows.
  • @ROFLBOB24
    Katatonia vibes. Hope for something a little heavier for the album, but I accept this.
  • Gonna be honest, not a fan of the single, sounds a bit too "poppy" for me, but i hoping the rest of the album delivers
  • I’m not sure it doesn’t have that dark raw quality of other Swallow the Sun songs but it may just take a few listens to grow on me I still love the band so I will absolutely be preordering
