Take the knowledge away
Suck the breath from the clay
Break the bone to the ground
Leave the soul where it's found
Lead the soul where it's found

Through the passage of time
One day soon to arrive
Silver bird in the sky
Leave this world all behind
Leave the world all behind

Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world

Looking out from inside
When you see what you find
Out of sight out of mind
Meet the seed of mankind
Meet the seed of mankind

Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world

Higher and higher
Spiralling through the sky
Vertically rising
Through a white wall of space
It's further and further
Pushing on through the clouds
Perfect response
To falling from grace
No need to look
For you are found
No need to speak
I hear the sound
On the street

Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
And now you're learning to fly
