Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love

Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are

For thousands of years
I have seen how man's been creating his own [bad word] 
Been wondering about the human race
And the ways they brought themselves down

I've never shed a tear
For the one that slowly killed himself
And never looked ahead
I [bad word] when the time is right
Just to make another one

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
I'll break every dream you've ever had
And make your life so, so sad
Make your life so sad

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free

Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love

Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are

I call your name
I tease you, I tame
I hold out my helping hand
You're first in line
I'll give you the sign
That's written in stone and sand

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
 [bad word] closer my friend
And don't be afraid
I'll take care of you and your dreams
Now the wise men are dead
Forget what's been said
Because nothing is what it seems

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
No one will ever be free
