God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

(Lyrics: Cohen, Recorded By Buffy Sainte-Marie) 

God is alive, magic is afoot 

God is alive, magic is afoot 

God is alive, magic is afoot 

God is afoot, magic is alive 

Alive is afoot, magic never died 

God never sickened 

Many poor men lied 

Many sick men lied 

Magic never weakened 

Magic never hid 

Magic always ruled 

God is afoot, God never died 

God was ruler 

Though his funeral lengthened 

Though his mourners thickened 

Magic never fled 

Though his shrouds were hoisted 

The naked God did live 

Though his words were twisted 

The naked magic thrived 

Though his death was published 

Round and round the world 

The heart did not believe 

Many hurt men wondered 

Many struck men bled 

Magic never faltered 

Magic always lead 

Many stones were rolled 

But God would not lie down 

Many wild men lied 

Many fat men listened 

Though they offered stones 

Magic still was fed 

Though they locked their coffers 

God was always served 

Magic is afoot, God is alive 

Alive is afoot 

Alive is in command 

Many weak men hungered 

Many strong men thrived 

Though they boast of solitude 

God was at their side 

Nor the dreamer in his cell 

Nor the captain on the hill 

Magic is alive 

Though his death was pardoned 

Round and round the world 

The heart would not believe
