Childhood's End

If a mountain stood in the way of my father The mountain would move aside A feat that wasn't passed down to me A boy with a crown An ill-fitting one People post-breakdown How their souls have been tested In these times everyone is both judge and jury And you still live in cages just with longer chains New world disorder, that's how we exist New world disorder, we can't resist Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside Minds, they forget But the scars remember everything No matter how much I've tried You will reject My attempts to be your rightful king Your king And I seem to make enemies Faster than I make friends I can't really find the remedy Do we get the life that we deserve? New world disorder, that's how we exist New world disorder, we can't resist Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside Minds, they forget But the scars remember everything No matter how much I've tried You will reject My attempts to be your king Childhood's End A sudden end I tried to burn away my fear and anger And how I prayed it would hurt no longer Imagine a king who fights his own battles I prefer my demons stirred not shaken You can drown your pain but it will learn to swim Some people treat life like a disease And I am one of them I am one of them
