Martin was bright as he stood up and sang in the choir His hearts all in pieces, was breaking, his head was on fire They took him from that place and they buried him deep in the ground Out with the light, quiet the sound It's a slow revolution that quietly turns As the true word burns And all of the people marching together out cross the floor And all that was after is now as it was before Sylvia sat staring out into the depths of her room Moment of light from her brain cut through the dark, pierced the gloom Children voices were music, cam faint through the wall From such a great height she looked down, there was only the fall And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns As the true word burns And all of the people stomping out cross the floor All that was after is now as it was before So look at the shadows bent forward tryin' to break through the night Huddled against the darkness, so close to the light My voice is breaking out here in this wilderness For I see a time that is coming, I see a time of change Sun is burning the deserts, but water's filling the plains Noah's chipping crazily away at his ark While all of us ready ourselves to go into the dark It's a slow revolution that quietly turns As the true word burns Yeah the true word burns And all of the people marching dancing out cross the floor And all of this matter soon won't matter much anymore
