The time has come to air the voice of reason
In a world gone mad, adrift on banal seas
For all who feel that lies have had their season
And whose hearts cry out, instead for honesty

For all the weary souls grown bored with dreaming
Whose thirst for beauty and for knowledge goes unslaked
For all who want to wake from what is dreaming
To know what's real, and what is real, to embrace

For all who've watched with mounting horror
Evil's reign upon this world grow ever clear
For all who've prayed in vain, emancipators
Wielding swords of truth, and laughing without fear

[ Bill Hicks ]
