It's so compelling to me
That the great minds of history
Are all found at the beginning
With periodically other further minds
Coming to their rescue
Just in time someone is burned
At the stake or a young boy
Is tortured and torn to pieces
So it all moves forward
Body by body their ideas
Of freedom and clarity of thought
Slowly-quickly like a lava-flow
Until a new island emerges from the sea
Back to the beginning of all we know
Back to the beginning of all we know
