And the Statues Fell

The past can be found written in history books Statues stand and tell no lies To see the future to the stars you need to look We are pawns in a game of queens kings and rooks Bygone crimes we seek to sanitizie The past can be found written in history books Time does not change an hero to a crook And to the devil you can not eulogize To see the future to the stars you need to look No matter what libertys with the truth are took Mans bygone crimes remain that all must realize The past can be found written in history books Always remember mans follys are just a page in gods scrapbook Our foolishness we look to normalize To see the future to the stars you need to look This world came without no guidebook Our past is not perfect and cannot be idealized The past can be found written in history books To see the future to the stars you need to look.
