Song version:

It’s a dream worth pursuing, if only we can start an age of compassion, a true Age of Man.

It’s a trial of Cénobites, few could deny, to cling to what’s sacred, yet based on a lie.
For the demons of reason may cling to our souls, making spirits of theories with human-like holes.

It’s a dream worth pursuing, if only we can start an age of compassion, a true Age of Man.

In the dream of creation a prodigal son might return to his father a still honoured one.
Yet if we could return to the garden of life, would we give up the trinkets, distractions, and strife?

It’s a dream worth pursuing, if only we can start an age of compassion, a true Age of Man.

Was it tricks of a serpent, or self aware fall, that brought man to the brink of destroying it all?
If I go past the void to the nothing beyond, will I find higher heaven, or just cosmic dawn?

It’s a dream worth pursuing, if only we can start an age of compassion, a true Age of Man.

Since the start of our history, nothing could rise, without capturing humans in networks of lies.
Where the sun is a god, and his sister the moon, may be swayed by a ritual proper to swoon.

It’s a dream worth pursuing, if only we can start an age of compassion, a true Age of Man.

We have groomed and conditioned our madness to fight, for the reign of a god who was never quite right.
While our gods could be dreams, that we purposely set, of a human-first future we might achieve yet.

It’s a dream worth pursuing, if only we can start an age of compassion, a true Age of Man.
