Don't speak of safe Messiahs   Failure of the modern man   To the center of all 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 no longer denies   All the failures of the modern man   He no longer picks 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   Break the spirits of a lesser man   Some other race can see   In his way he was the only one      He no longer denies   All the failures of the modern man   No, no, he can't pick sides   Sees the failures of the modern man      Now that it's time to decide   In his time he was a total man   Taken from Caesar's side   Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong      No, no, he can't pick sides   All the failures of the modern man   No, no longer denies   All the failures of the modern man
