lyrics

Fast as a myth, once you believe in it it’s gone - but you never were wrong
Bliss, ignorance, Joy, wonderment just hold on - cause it won’t last for long
Invisible friends safely in your head and belong - and they’re keeping you young

Death of innocence an end of ignorance - So long to Fearsome Critters
Birth of belligerence hello to arrogance and you're lost to the Wisdom of Winters
Death of innocence, and the end of ignorance - So long to Fearsome Critters
Birth of belligerence, hello to arrogance and you're gone in the Wisdom of Winters

Where does it go? No longer wanting to know - as days tick by
Growing old just because they say so - prep to die
Fight the instinct, you’re as young as you think - don’t ask why
The joys of this world needing to be unfurled - don’t let them by

Death of innocence an end of ignorance - So long to Fearsome Critters
Birth of belligerence hello to arrogance and you're lost to the Wisdom of Winters
Death of innocence, and the end of ignorance - So long to Fearsome Critters
Birth of belligerence, hello to arrogance and you're gone in the Wisdom of Winters

Build your world - as you see fit
There are no rules - for how to live

Jabberwockies, Jackalopes, Captain Howdy, how you cope
The pain of youth subsides in time but as you age your heart will die
Fearsome critters, fantastic beasts manifest your purest dreams
Protect them for as long as you can for once their gone your joy be damned

Build your world - as you see fit
There are no rules - for how to live

Long in tooth and now you’re knowing the truth - just living proof - of waiting to die
Not asking why and no more glint in your eye - farewell to youth - and living a lie

Death of innocence an end of ignorance - So long to Fearsome Critters
Birth of belligerence hello to arrogance and you're lost to the Wisdom of Winters
Death of innocence, and the end of ignorance - So long to Fearsome Critters
Birth of belligerence, hello to arrogance and you're gone in the Wisdom of Winters

Build your world and live in it
Rule your world so you can die in it
