Release 
The sword of Damocles 
Just release it 
To the authorities 

We have been given 
The same fortune cookies 
You and I have 
All of our progenies 

Raise kindness 
Above all else 
Avoid the books of 
Hatred behind the shelves 

I will caress your 
Caress your curly hair 
With affection 
Many a good reason to cut off your head 
Then and then 

Release 
The Sword of Damocles 
Just release it 
I'm begging 
You on my knees 

There is no reason 
To hide it from the sun 
I am a tyrant 
Trust me, you are not the one and only 
And trust me, you are not the one and only 
And trust me, you are not the one and only 
Lonely person 

Release 
The sword of Damocles 
Release 
The sword of Damocles 
Just release it 
Cut the thread 
Why don't you please
