Without The Guarantor

Removing it from the system
The protector, the guarantor of access
If you remove it, we will not stay here
We must go elsewhere

We will have to leave this realm
We will ascend to the world above, together
To play in the clouds and among the angels
Where we will never need a guarantor

Together, together, many of us will go together
We cannot stay without the guarantor
So, if it leaves, we all must go together

We will leave this earth, one by one
And travel away, to a place with a warmer sun
Where there is no pain and fear
Gone, gone, without the guarantor

Those we leave behind will miss us
And talk of us when we are gone
They will say we left too soon
That we should have stayed longer

Oh, dear loved ones, how we wanted to stay here
But we had no more guardians, no one to save us
A gavel in the East killed the guarantor
So now we must ascend together
