Don't speak of safe Messiahs,
|
A failure of the Modern Man,
|
To the centre of all life's desires,
|
As a whole not an also ran.
|
Love in a hollow field,
|
Break the image of your father's son,
|
Drawn to an inner feel,
|
He was thought of as the only one,
|
He was thought of as the only one.
|
|
He no longer denies,
|
All the failures of the Modern Man,
|
No, no, no, he can't pick sides,
|
Sees the failures of the Modern Man.
|
Wise words and sympathy,
|
Tell the story of our history.
|
New strength gives a real touch,
|
Sense and reason make it all too much.
|
With a strange fatality,
|
Broke the spirits of a lesser man,
|
Some other race can see,
|
In his way he was the only one,
|
In his way he was the only one.
|
|
He no longer denies,
|
All the failures of the Modern Man,
|
No, no, no, he can't pick sides,
|
Sees the failures of the Modern Man.
|
Now that it's right to decide,
|
In his time he was a total man,
|
Taken from Caesar's side,
|
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong.
|
He no longer denies,
|
All the failures of the Modern Man,
|
No, no, no, he can't pick sides,
|
Sees the failures of the Modern Man.
|
All the failures of the Modern Man.
