republic of eden

Foy Vance

Some people say they know it
For others it's belief
Say they'd rather know than know it's make believe

For those that have outgrown it
Those that up and leave
Know you can't control what's clearly mystery

Well I've longed to start the fires
So while I'm still breathing
There's a revolution in the republic of Eden

Consider the lion
Lying on the plane
Watch
His eyes as he surveys the prid? and wildebeest remains
Though he may not show
H?'s the king of his domain
And woe betide the lion that tries to challenge his reign

Well he owes and he owns nothing
He's standing still, now breathing
In his eyes the revolution in the republic of Eden

And those exploring planets
Report no signs of God
By the whirling firmament out the window of the fuselage

And this space between us
Yet there's no us or them
Whether we were born of a bang of the aftermath of requiem

I am a raging fire

I am standing still now breathing
Yes I am the revolution in the republic of Eden

We owe and we own nothing
We're standing still now breathing
Yes we are the revolution in the republic of Eden
