so we're living
living in a world of apathy
a pathetic disease of society
symptomatic enmity
so we're sleeping
with a false sense of security
sleeping in the cage of luxury
violent serenity
here we're laughing
spitting at the face of anarchy
while victimized by hierarchy
capitalistic leprosy
now we're sipping
from the cup of irony
raise a toast
to hypocrasy, honesty, fallacy
but the Word is alive
and alive is the Word
existing, existing
existing inside the mind
but the heart sets the pace
puts the change into motion
that's why the Word is alive is the Word
so we're walking
between the walls of sanity
encircling mendacity
come to efface the effigy
and we're listening
without a sense a urgency
relying on the weight of policy
to fill the scars of humanity
escaping
crack the core of reality
glimpses of eternity
monumental idealism
but we're learning
to turn the pages of history
to realize the mystery
behind the man and his mortality
...the Word is alive...
