Innocence is like an open door, Not safe, but requisite to being free
0:09
Darlings of our rhetoric, we wonder Evil is the rest, but for our words
0:18
Perhaps we know what horrors are in store, Even as we dream of what might be
0:24
Needing, as we preach and teach and plunder, Defenses that would Xanadu preserve
0:33
Even so, the freedom we are for Now stands for all a common legacy
0:40
Called forth by masters tearing worlds asunder, Embraced by slaves consumed with righteous hunger
0:51
Destined to dispute those whom it serves. All innocents must keep their hopes at sea
1:01
Yearning for an ever-distant shore
