Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A traveller of light, he came to this Earth
He had come to warn us of ourselves and what he had observed
Alone, alone in this universe
He had lost all that he had once loved, his homeland had been cursed
He said, I see in you what my people have been before
Our love of power and of might was the cause of our downfall
I've come to warn you, to prepare you, to save you from yourselves
[Verse 2]
At first we embraced his knowledge and his thoughts on our world
He was from a place far from here
That became the victim of tyranny and war
His father, like any father, planned an escape for his only child
He sent him traveling through time
Underneath the cover of the darkest night
Tell others of our fate
Tell others what you have witnessed here
Have them learn that tyranny and war only leads to the death of us all
Be sure to tell them that there is always another way
A path we should have followed years ago but now it's too late
[Verse 3]
We listened for some time and he showed us
Of the power that he could wield
How we could raise mountains into the sky and walk across the seas
We saw him as our weapon
To protect us from our unknown enemies
Until we thought it best that he should
Confront and demand their admission of defeat
He fought for us on lands and on oceans
That we had never, ever seen before or been before
He raised our flag above the bones of those he had forced to crawl
Now it was he and he alone who threatened our new way of life
So we stole his last breath as he slept
Underneath the cover of the darkest night
[Verse 4]
He left a written word like a message painted on our city walls
It was the path he had spoken of to us once before
[Verse 5]
It read, forgiveness
It read, forgiveness
It read, forgiveness
It read, forgiveness
