So if you're lost along the way
And if you're thinking that will always be the case
And if you're thinking that will always be the case
No one would win; it was all so pointless and above them, but they'd fight it anyway."..Probably not. I..know that the Order might want to make it so there aren't any Ascended left, but is that the goal of the Old Gods, do you think? Could...I mean, if--" Sam swallowed, the words he was about to say coming from a dark place in his imagination and hard to bring to light. "-If the Voice was killed and couldn't make any more Ascended, could those that are left be allowed to live?"
He was a simple bookmaker; other Ascended were artists, craftsmen, friends, neighbours; what threat did they really pose?
The innocence of Remi's question, after his jaded sentiments, was a surprise; Sam looked up at him and with a light frown of concentration, said: "...It would take a lot of us. And a lot of sacrifice. But if enough of us refuse to fight each other, if we make an example of how our people can live together, I don't see how we could have a war. I want to at least take those least interested in fighting and hide somewhere."

You'll make a sucker's prayer
Just go and leave it that-a-way
Just go and leave it that-a-way
