Don't speak
of false messiahs
-a failure of the modern man
To the centre
of our life's desires
- as a whole not an also-ran
Love in a hollow field - break the image
of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel -
he was thought of
as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies
-all the failures
of the modern man
No, no, no,
he can't pick sides
- sees the failures
of the modern man
Wise words and sympathy - tell the story
of our history
New strength
gives a real touch
- sense and reason
make it all too much
With a strange fatality - broke the spirits
of a lesser man
Some other race could see - in his way
he was the only one
In his way
he was the only one
He no longer denies
-all the failures
of the modern man
No, no, no,
he can't pick sides -
sees the failures
of the modern man
Now that
it's right to decide
-in his time
he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side - kept in silence
just to prove who's wrong
He no longer denies
-all the failures
of the modern man
No, no, no,
he can't pick sides
-sees the failures
of the modern man
All the failures
of the modern man
