In an Age Far Away

Vs 1
From the study hall I see the kids playing pick up ball out in the yard
A multitude of coloured faces but none of them seems to care at all
The room next door is the teacher’s lounge where we
Watch war stream on live tv
Chrs 1
In an age far away
Will there still be war if we all look the same
And all the Gods just headed home and left us alone
In an age far away
Vs 2
When I was a student here, we were schooled that through the years we would change
The mingling of colored faces mixing so many races, it’s a natural thing.
But will lessons learned be forgotten
By generations who were taught to fight
Chrs 2
In an age far away
Will there still be war if we all look the same
And all the Gods just headed home and left us alone
In an age far away
Bridge
Some say it's simplistic there's so much more to it
But look to the past you'll see repeating history
And when all the soldiers are gone
Will AI keep fighting on
Chrs 3
In an age far away
Will there still be war if we all look the same
And all the Gods just headed home and left us alone
In an age far away
