This is an awsome song, and I relate to it to because often I realize that really everything we do is due to chemical reactions in your body, so this song makes a lot of sense to me.
But after the second time they sing "no fire in our eyes, no steel in our hearts" etc. .. then he sings something like "and you tell me that the soul is just the one you love, no evil to rise up above" What's he really say there? I've always wondered, thanks.
Because of the way the lines are typed it's misleading. The lyrics actually ask, "To what end do we proceed so boldly if all we are is chemical reactions?"
