All Is Not Lost Lyrics







[Verse 1]

When civilization takes a nasty turn

And concepts are hushed when books are burned

All is not lost

All is not lost



When swine are the ones who steal the pearls

From the human oysters of the western world

All is not lost

All is not lost



[Chorus]

Truth lives on

Truth lives on

Truth lives on



[Verse 2]

When beauty seems beaten by the callous beasts

And it looks like it will be 'cause history repeats

All is not lost

All is not lost



You can still see grace in the children's eyes

And this planet's face still gladdens the wise

All is not lost

All is not lost



[Chorus]

Truth lives on

Truth lives on

Truth lives on



[Verse 3]

When the hand of man becomes inept

And sketches the truth in silhouette

All is not lost

All is not lost



Oh the hand of God has not worked in vain

And this globe is fodder for the feeblest brain

All is not lost

All is not lost



[Chorus]

Truth lives on

Truth lives on

Truth lives on



[Outro]

Truth lives on

Truth lives on

Truth lives on



Oh truth lives on

Truth lives on

Truth lives on



Oh truth lives on

Truth lives on....
