I respect no kings Who do nothing for me I'll kneel before none And die for as many I believe no words From the fountain of lies My whole being Built in rejection of authority What has become of divine rule Who have we allowed to control us The silence from the mouth of man Is the most righteous proclamation The silence is fleeting Might this be our end He doesn't create So, he destroys All the ends of the earth Turned to dust in hands of man An imminent future From our opulent past Brilliance is lost in translation To those who will never understand The meaning of it all The silence from the mouth of man Is the most righteous proclamation The silence is fleeting The end times are nigh All progress Is being lost in waves of forgetting This notion That we might be the height of the paradox I need to believe that this is not The best of all possible worlds Let me create the world I want to see Free from all forms of enmity A world where we are one My will be done
