about

Based on C.K. Chesterton novel "Manalive".

lyrics

MANALIVE

I left my country just behind my back,
my name’s the one of an exiled man.

Cause I’m going all around the world,
just to recover that what’s of my own.

Although no one has done this before
this circle way has never been walked.

Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh.

Meanwhile you’re planted like a big fat tree,
cause you didn’t want to believe in me.

I do believe in revolutions,
or can’t you get what this runaway means?

They’re just attempts of going back to Eden,
just to recover what we used to be.

I’m gonna get this gun on my hand,
and I will point it straight to your head,
but I won’t take your life away,
I’ll just bring you into life back again.

Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh.

All the bullets I’ve got in my gun,
will be saved for those pessimist men.

All the intellectuals that i used to read,
were not alive enough to be afraid from death.

Until they saw the gun upon their face,
they didn’t get they were alive again.

I’m gonna get this gun on my hand,
and I will point it straight to your head,
but I won’t take your life away,
I’ll just bring you into life back again.

Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh.
