Man fights his offspring to prove he's right,
To show off his uncontested might
He murders, he kills, he destroys, he builds,
in his pursuit of a dream he'll never catch.
Imprisoned in a dream he can never escape from
Ever since the day he had came upon
Inspiration for him to go through the trials
To fight for nothing, to bring his people smiles
They told him "To obtain freedom you will have to fight for it.
You must never turn back, you must be willing to die for it"
He believed what he was told, and did what he must do.
Now freedom he has obtained, and his blood spilled for what's "true".
