Tell me a story of days gone by
Of hate and fear that divided
The devil drinks to his glorious day
He knows we've lost our way
He knows we've lost our way
Although evil stains
The truth still remains
As blinders fall from our eyes
We fall to knees and weep
In refusing to see the truth
The death choosers devalue life
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Even those who rule with fear
Cannot cheat death when it appears
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Even those who rule with fear
Cannot cheat death when it appears
Power, corruption, greed and hate
The order of the day
But there's hope for all who live in fear
Don't let your light disappear
Don't let your light disappear
Although evil stains
The truth still remains
As blinders fall from our eyes
We fall to knees and weep
In refusing to see the truth
The death choosers devalue life
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Even those who rule with fear
Cannot cheat death when it appears
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Even those who rule with fear
Cannot cheat death when it appears
Evil stains, but the truth remains
Evil stains, but the truth remains
Ah
Tell me a story of days to come
Of peoples that unite
In hope and love to heal the pain
Of a history that divided
Of a history that divided
Although evil stains
The truth still remains
As blinders fall from our eyes
We fall to knees and weep
In refusing to see the truth
The death choosers devalue life
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Even those who rule with fear
Cannot cheat death when it appears
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Even those who rule with fear
Cannot cheat death when it appears
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go
In the end we all go
In the end we all go
In the end we go
Ah
