World Without Crosses

[Intro]
(futuristic synth pad + distant clean guitar arpeggios)

Two villages lived side by side for centuries long…
[Verse 1] (methodical delivery)
One side held a cross, the other held a flame,
Both built high fences and called out a name.
Children learned anger before they learned to play,
Carrying grudges passed down from yesterday.
[Hook] (methodical delivery, melodic and hopeful)
World without the cross, no more holy divide
No sacred excuses for keeping hate alive
People connecting instead of drawing lines
Truth in the open, no more wasted time
[Verse 2] (smooth delivery)
An old woman watched from her window one year,
Wondered what life would look like without fear.
She set out a table with bread and plain truth,
Spoke of shared water instead of sacred proof.
Slowly the fences came down brick by brick,
Laughter replaced sermons that once made them sick.
[Hook] (smooth and precision delivery)
World without the cross, no more holy divide
No sacred excuses for keeping hate alive
People connecting instead of drawing lines
Truth in the open, no more wasted time
[Bridge] (smooth delivery, slightly more emotional)
No divine reasons to justify pain,
No holy borders dividing the rain.
Just humans together under one sky,
Learning to live without asking why.
[Final Hook] (methodical delivery, bigger and soaring)
World without the cross, no more holy divide
No sacred excuses for keeping hate alive
People connecting instead of drawing lines
Truth in the open, no more wasted time
[Outro] (half-time, raw spoken with fading guitar and synth swell)
When sacred walls fall, ordinary kindness can rise.
