Age of Unreason

Just to think that not so long ago
 Was a man who risked his life
 Who challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth
 Just to cast a brighter light
 The notion that we
 Can live as one in perfect harmony
 Requires a common sensibility
 To teach an intellectual capacity
 That I believe
 Is in the air
 But everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
 How so few can be aware
 That their nation's heart is bleeding
 And oh, when the violence has begun
 We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
 While the fools believe as one
 In this unrepentant age of unreason
 Just to think that not so long ago
 Was a man who received the seal
 He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny
 To divide his people with zeal
 But we can live as one in perfect harmony
 It requires a common sensibility
 To teach an intellectual capacity
 That I believe is in the air
 But everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
 How so few can be aware
 That their nation's heart is bleeding, oh
 But I, as a child who plays for fun
 With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
 Watch the fools believe as one
 In this unrepentant age of unreason
 Now that darkness has begun
 We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
 While the fools believe as one
 In this unrepentant age of unreason
