We are building a new dominion
Unlike any built before
We have planned our Utopia
From the failed models of better men
We understand what will not work
We have conceived what will
And we are building a new kingdom
In a fortress without walls

We will pack all our valuables
Our love and peace and strength
We will leave behind self-righteousness
We have no need for leadership
We have no need for anger
And the rage that builds empires
We will build our castle far away because
We cannot build it here

We are prepared to lay down our lives
Though we will not take up arms
We will have to build it in the next life
We cannot build it here
