[Verse 1]Some people say they know itFor others it's beliefSay they'd rather know than know it's make believeFor those that have outgrown itThose that up and leaveKnow you can't control what's clearly mystery[Chrous]Well I've longed to start the firesSo while I'm still breathingThere's a revolution in the republic of Eden[Verse 2]Consider the lionLying on the planeWatchHis eyes as he surveys the pridе and wildebeest remainsThough he may not showHе's the king of his domainAnd woe betide the lion that tries to challenge his reign[Chorus]Well he owes and he owns nothingHe's standing still, now breathingIn his eyes the revolution in the republic of Eden[Verse 3]And those exploring planetsReport no signs of GodBy the whirling firmament out the window of the fuselageAnd this space between usYet there's no us or themWhether we were born of a bang of the aftermath of requiem[Chrous]I am a raging fireI am standing still now breathingYes I am the revolution in the republic of EdenWe owe and we own nothingWe're standing still now breathingYes we are the revolution in the republic of Eden
