Lyrics

[00:21] Martin was bright as he stood up and sang in the choir
[00:32] His heart all in pieces was breaking; his head was on fire
[00:42] They took him from that place and they buried him deep in the ground
[00:52] Out with the light and quiet the sound
[01:02] And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns
[01:12] As the true word burns
[01:20] And all of the people marching together out 'cross the floor
[01:30] And all that was after is now as it was before
[01:52] Now Sylvia sat staring out in the depths of a room
[02:03] A moment of light from her brain cut through the dark and pierced the gloom
[02:13] Children's voices were music, came faint through the wall
[02:23] From such a great height she looked down; it was only the fall
[02:33] And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns
[02:43] As the true word burns
[02:50] And all of the people marching, stomping out 'cross the floor
[03:01] And all that was after is now as it was before
[03:33] So look at the shadows bent forward, trying to break through the night
[03:44] Huddled against the darkness, so close to the light
[03:56] My voice is breaking out here in this wilderness
[04:17] For I see a time that is coming;
[04:22] I see a time of change
[04:28] The sun is burning the deserts but water's filling the plains
[04:40] Noah is crazily chipping away at his ark
[04:50] While all of us ready ourselves to go into the dark
[05:00] And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns
[05:10] As the true word burns
[05:22] And all of the people marching, dancing out 'cross the floor
[05:33] And all of this matter soon won't matter much anymore
