Verse
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 came faint through the wall
From such a great height she looked down there was only the fall
Chorus
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
Bridge
So look at the shadows bent forward trying to break through the night
Huddled against the darkness so close to the light
My voice is breaking out here in this wilderness
Verse
For I see a time that is coming I see a time of change
Sun is burning the deserts but waters filling the plains
Noah's chipping crazily away at his ark
While all of us ready ourselves to go into the dark
Chorus
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
