When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance

Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance


Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise


The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred Halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering

Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
Can't we learn to feel what's right

And what's wrong?
What's wrong?


Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?

Can't we find the minds to lead us
Closer to the heart?
