It was the story of all stories
Once upon a time, Glory turned to greed
There was a world rich with potential
Drenched with promise and beauty
Magical indeed
It could satisfy your every need, no reason for greed
Yet greed it was that destroyed her
This relentless insatiable need
They could never be pleased
Not for a moment in time
Walked by The Tree of Knowledge
Locked and loaded
Oblivious to peace
Glory turned to greed
[EARTH][FIRE] Air and Water
Ever after
The Beauty and the Beast
The Legend of The Free
And it wasn’t that they didn’t know
They knew that they were free
They found the scattered wisdom seeds
but they were gimme gimme me me me
Until one day there was nothing left for greed
They surrendered the keys to the sea
Set their sights on a far away galaxy
Just for a moment in time
It was just for a moment...
