Lyrics Republic of Eden - Live - Foy Vance

Some people say they know it
Some has just believed
They say they′d rather know than know it's make-belief

For those it (had back?) growling
For those (it up?) and leave
They know you can′t control what's clearly a mystery

Oh, I've longed to start the fires
So, while I am still breathing
There is a revolution
In the republic of Eden

Consider lying
Lying on a plane
Watch his eyes as he surveys the pride and wilder beast remains

And though he may not show it
He′s the king of his domain
And (what he tied the line?) he tries the challenge us great

Oh, what he owns, and he owns nothing
And he stands and still not breathing
In his eyes the revolution
In the republic of Eden

When they′re exploring planets
They see no sign of god
By the world in front of men at the window of the fuselage
Though there's space between us
There is no us or them
Oh, we may be born (of a buy?) or the aftermath of requiem

Oh, when I hold, and I hold nothing
But I′m standing still not breathing
Yes, I am the revolution
In the republic of Eden

We're all and we own nothing
We′re standing still here breathing
Yes, we are the revolution in the republic of Eden
