Just to think that not so long ago was a man who risked his life
He challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth just to cast a brighter light

The notion that we can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility to teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air

But everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could give a care when their nation's heart is bleeding

And oh! when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
But the fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason

Just to think that not so long ago was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny to divide his people with zeal

But we can live as one in perfect harmony
It requires a common sensibility to teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air

But everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
How so few can be aware that their nation's heart is bleeding

But I, as a child who plays for fun with his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watch the fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason
Now that darkness has begun we decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason
