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.
