While the empire was failing

I was so far from home

I heard a thousand sirens wailing

So I was never on my own

And when the blackness slowly parted

I saw the ivory towers

Before the revolution started

Between the madness of the hours

And they don't see what we see

But we believe, we believe

That they're not gonna live forever

Burn tomorrow, never say

They're here today, then they're gone forever

Never say, never say, never say

We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way

Imagine if we could, could

And in the days that quickly followed

They began to turn to stone

They couldn't stand or speak or swallow

They couldn't get out of bed alone

And when the frailty overcomes them

And they begin to crawl

Reachin' out their bloody hands

Guess who gets to make the call?

'Cause they don't see what we see

But we believe, we believe

That they're not gonna live forever

Burn tomorrow, never say

They're here today, then they're gone forever

Never say, never say, never say

We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way

Imagine if we could, we could

I contemplate with sovereign reverence

that act of the whole American people

which declared that their legislature

should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

"thus building a wall of

separation between Church and State

No, no, they're not gonna live forever

Burn tomorrow, never say

They're here today, then they're gone forever

Never say, never say, never say

We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way

Imagine if we could, we could

(Woo)

(Woo-hoo)
