Verse 1:
G
 Some people say they know it
F
 For others it's belief
G                                       F           C
 Say they'd rather know than know it's make believe
G
 For those that have outgrown it
F

 Those that up and leave
G                                       F
 Know you can't control what's clearly mystery

Chorus:
           C
Well I've longed to start the fires
     D
So while I'm still breathing
        G                      D
There's a revolution in the republic of Eden

Verse 2:
G
 Consider the lion
F
 Lying on the plane
G
 Watch
                             F                         C
His eyes as he surveys the pride and wildebeest remains
G
 Though he may not show
F
 He's the king of his domain
G                                        F
 And woe betide the lion that tries to challenge his reign

Chorus:
         C
Well he owes and he owns nothing
       D
He's standing still, now breathing,     G
                              C
In his eyes the revolution in the republic of Eden

G
 And those exploring planets

 Report no signs of God
G                                   F                    C
 By the whirling firmament out the window of the fuselage
G
 And this space between us
F
 Yet there's no us or them
G                                       F
 Whether we were born of a bang of the aftermath of requiem

Chorus:
   C
I am a raging fire
       D
I am standing still now breathing
       G                         C
Yes I am the revolution in the republic of Eden

Yes we are the revolution in the republic of Eden
