Our Masters were wise and we never ones to question
Every gilded tool of our own oppression
Still blinded by the light that bathes the throne
And all our secrets have never been our own
They sought there answers in their towers
Far from all that we could see
While observation forms our action
With quiet love for you and me
And when towers are gone we'll be here livin'
A manuscript lived instead of written
Science as a guide
We'll keep improving
No dogma to claim
We're all producing
Yeah, we know there's truth to be found
Not from God, but from looking around
And if you find me down on my knees
I'll just be lifting up a friend in need
They told us we would never make it
but history seems to disagree
So after 5000 years of subjugation
It's time for us to hold the keys
And when towers are gone we'll be here livin'
A manuscript lived instead of written
Science as a guide
We'll keep improving
No dogma to claim
We're all producing
Yeah, we know there's truth to be found
Not from God, but from looking around
And if you find me down on my knees
I'll just be lifting up a friend in need
