Slow Revolution Lyrics - Towards The Sun - Alexi Murdoch

Martin was bright as he stood up and sang in the choir 

His heart all in pieces was breaking; his head was on fire 

They took him from that place and they buried him deep in the ground 

Out with the light and quiet the sound 

And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns 

As the true word burns 

And all of the people marching together out 'cross the floor 

And all that was after is now as it was before 

Now Sylvia sat staring out in the depths of a room 

A moment of light from her brain cut through the dark and pierced the gloom 

Children's voices were music, came faint through the wall 

From such a great height she looked down; it was only the fall 

And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns 

As the true word burns 

And all of the people marching, stomping out 'cross the floor 

And all that was after is now as it was before 

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 

For I see a time that is coming; I see a time of change 

The sun is burning the deserts but water's filling the plains 

Noah is crazily chipping away at his ark 

While all of us ready ourselves to go into the dark 

And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns 

As 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
