Wisdom Chain Songtext
von Liquid Blue

That in the midst of death, life persists
In the midst of untrue, truth persists
We cannot and should not weaken in our efforts to make the nation of the world
And especially their government, aware of the unbelievable design
They are certain to provoke, unless they change their attitude towards each other
And towards the task of shaping the future
May the spirit that wanted Alfred Nobel to create this great institution
The spirit of trust and confidence, of generosity and brotherhood among men
Prevail in the minds of those upon whose decision our destiny lies
Otherwise, our civilization will be doomed


Every man, woman, and child lives under a nuclear sword of diameter
Hanging by the slenderest of threads
Capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness
The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us

Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose or so much to gain
Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames
Save if we can
Save if we must
I believe we should institute and place it to effect
Some limits on the total amounts which can be spent for a candidate
Or a party and to have these cards more democratically shared
Elections now cost enormous amounts of money

That amount is increased with the advent of television
This makes candidates and parties dependent upon the big contributors for funds
Most of these big contributors want favors at the public expense after an election
So the public now pays ten times over for the financing of our political campaigns


That in the midst of death, life persists
In the midst of untrue, truth persists
