about

All old cities raise monuments to victories. Some raise monuments to defeats. Covered in dust, overgrown, mossy, faded or crumbled, these structures ask us not to forget the cost of struggles for power. Yet we mostly forget them, even as ours will mostly be forgotten.

We are tired of the wars. We are tired of the kings, of the queens, of dirty jewels and tarnished crowns. We need less. We need more. All that we need in a king and a queen: no conquest. No victory. No power. We raise new monuments – statues and arches that we will not forget. Peace. Joy. LOVE.

lyrics

Love of all love
Come near
Come near
We need your eyes to see
What’s here
What’s here

And show us what can be
May we dream what we can’t see

Love of all love
Come near
Come near
We need your eyes to see
What’s here
What’s here

Beneath this crumbled ground
Lies all your jewels and crowns

So won’t you come here now and be
All that we need in a king
And a queen…

God of all your children
Hear our cries
We long for peace
We long for love
We long for joy

We are tired of the wars
We are tired of the wars

So won’t you come here now and be
All that we need in a king
And a queen

So won’t you come here now and be
All that we need in a king
And a queen

Won’t you come here now and be
All that we need in a king
And a queen: Love
