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 leaveKnow you can't control what's clearly mystery

Oh, I′ve longed to start the fire

So while I am still breathing

There is a revolution in the republic of Eden

Consider the lion lying on the plane

Watch his eyes as he surveys the pride and wildebeest remains

Though he may not show he′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

Oh, I'm a raging fire

I′m 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
