Republic of Eden

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

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
