Absolution

Why do we pretend?
Like everything's fine
Like nobody dies for something we don’t even trust
Like no one cries tonight
Someday we'll be gone and what's left of us?

No, you can’t imagine this world without those you love
But always pretend that nothing happens around
Like nothing can change your life

Lies of the centuries
Everywhere we look
In everyone we know
In every book we read
In every song we've heard
There are no enemies but fools

Sleep my child everything is alright
I’ll always be right here to drive away your fear
And nothing will make you cry

Strength through hope!
Hope through faith!
