There's a world somewhere where people are like

Heroes from my books

There's a world somewhere where I don't have to

Face your pitied looks

There's a world somewhere where God is good

And He helps people as He should

There's a world somewhere where people are like

Heroes from my books

———

But here we are in a world full of death and wealth and kings

And we are going to fight your God and end all suffering

Here we are in a world where there's walls and hierarchies

But we will break down your high tower, set all people free

———

There's a world in which we didn't make up

Trade and states and war

Where men and women are both equal

Love is at the core

There's a world somewhere where kids can play

Be with their parents each day

There's a world in which we didn't make up

Trade and states and war

———

But here we are in a world full of death and wealth and kings

And we are going to fight your God and end all suffering

Here we are in a world where there's walls and hierarchies

But we will break down your high tower, set all people free

———

And we are on the path of forgetting

Of forgetting all the bloodshed in our bloodlines

We must make sure we keep remembering

Remembering why we should redefine

Redefine what it means to be alive

———

But here we are in a world full of death and wealth and kings

And we are going to fight your God and end all suffering

Here we are in a world where there's walls and hierarchies

But we will break down your high tower, set all people free
