Eternal Voice of the Timid
Back

Songs Lyrics

The eternal voice of the timid who so dislikes the bold
For the latter points out their frailties and his soul cannot be sold
The eternal voice of trembling against the lion hearted wail
Tell me who are you afriad of who's been banned and who's in jail

We have presided over the death of our people
Our hearts are fattened and our ears have been stuffed
We are not doing all that we can and what we do is never enough

The eternal voice of weeping against the cry of victory
There are some who say there is no escape
While other walk right through a raging sea.
There are giants that suddenly appear
and challenge the awesome powers that be
They are born to suffer for there's is the vision
To see what others cannot or will not see

Oh but the builders who tirelessly keep on building
Will build hope where despair once had been
And the dreamers who defy the impossible
Who's love of goodness is labeled extreme

The eternal voice of the timid who so dislikes the bold
Who's heart is forever bleeding, when in truth his heart is cold
There are comets that suddenly streak through the sky
And change the face of history
They are imprisoned for being ahead of their time
And it's too late when we finally see

Oh the measure of a mans love is not how he tries to act so nice
How cheap it is to proclaim one's love how difficult to sacrifice
The opressor is not impressed by those who sigh and beat their breast
But only with those who wrestle with angels and will not let them leave
Until they've been blessed
