Cool sounding song but it\'s not entirely accurate. I assume the lyricist is referring to Africa and Africa wasn\'t a peaceful land. No land has been a truly peaceful land since Caine slew Abel.
I feel like the chorus is more in reference to colonialism or Native Americans. It doesn't flow with the verses (which seem to be more about acceptance in general) initially because it's more specific but I think it's fine since it's trying to warn people of prior atrocities that led to anti-acceptance.

If we're to say peace ended when Cain slew Abel, we're entering an Epicurean paradox.

None of them paint the picture of a person worth worshiping---they paint the picture of an immature manchild demanding respect and praise or he'll kill people for disagreeing. A dictator.
