[Lyrics for Elric Walker – I Believe]
In these strange and troubled times
So full of hope and so full of fear
With change rushing in like a storm
We’ve gone so far and we’ve come so near
Yet still there are people hungry
Still the homeless and the trodden down
Still those who have more than they need
Who refuse to share the common ground
But I believe
That every evil plan must fail
And I believe
That justice will prevail
And I believe
That it will come to pass
And I believe
That the truth will come at last…
The oppressor rules the world
With reckless lust and violent greed
False shepherds who ravage their sheep
Who starve their flocks while themselves they feed
Who glorify all wickedness
Whose lying tongues have scorched the earth
Who grind the face of the poor
Persecuting those of humble birth
But I believe
That every evil plan must fail
And I believe
That justice will prevail
And I believe
That it will come to pass
And I believe
That the truth will come at last…
How long will the heathen rage?
When will the proud return?
When will our children come in from the rain?
How long will these flames around us burn?
In the tumult and confusion
We roll the Wheel of Ages round
While trumpets blare over the fields
There’s still so many who don’t hear the sound
But I believe
That every evil plan must fail
And I believe
That justice will prevail
And I believe
That it will come to pass
And I believe
That the truth will come at last…
