    Verse 1

    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 
    Verse 2

    Many 
    poor men 
    lied 

    Many 
    sick men 
    lied 

    Magic 
    never 
    weakened 

    Magic 
    never 
    hid 

    Magic 
    always 
    ruled 

    God 
    is 
    afoot 

    God 
    nev
    er died 

    Verse 3
    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 

    Verse 4
    Many 
    hurt men 
    wondered 

    Many 
    struck men 
    bled 

    Magic 
    never 
    faltered 

    Verse 5
    Magic 
    always 
    led 

    Many stones 
    were rolled 

    But 
    God 
    would not lie 
    down 

    Many 
    wild 
    men lied 

    Many 
    fat men 
    listened 

    Though they 
    offered 
    stones 

    Ma
    gic 
    still was 
    fed 

    Though they 
    locked their 
    coffers 

    God 
    was always 
    served 

    Ma
    gic 
    is 
    afoot 
    Verse 6

    God 
    rules 

    Alive 
    is afoot 

    Alive 
    is in command 

    Verse 7
    Many 
    weak men 
    hungered 

    Many 
    strong 
    men thrived 

    Though 
    they boasted 
    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 
    did not believe 

    Though laws 
    Verse 8
    were carved 
    in marble 

    They 
    could not 
    shelter 
    men 

    Though 
    altars 
    built in 

    parliaments 

    They could not 
    order 
    men 

    Po
    lice arres
    ted 
    Magic 

    And 
    Magic 
    went with 
    them 

    For 
    Magic 
    loves 
    the 
    hungry 

    But 
    Ma
    gic 
    would 
    not 
    Verse 9
    tarry 

    It 
    moves 
    from arm 
    to arm 

    It 
    would not 
    stay with 
    them 

    Magic 
    is 
    afoot 

    It 
    cannot 
    come to 
    harm 

    It 
    rests 
    in an empty 
    palm 

    It 
    spawns 
    in an empty 
    mind 

    But 
    Magic 
    is no 
    instrument 

    Ma
    gic is 
    the end 

    Verse 10
    Many men 
    drove 
    Magic 

    But 
    Magic 
    stayed behind 

    Many strong 
    men 
    lied 

    They 
    only 
    passed 
    through Magic 

    And out 
    the other 
    side 

    Many 
    weak men 
    lied 

    They 
    came 
    to God 
    in secret 

    And 
    though they 
    left him 
    nourished 

    They 
    would not 
    say who 
    healed 

    Though 
    mountains 
    danced 
    before 
    them 

    They 
    said that 
    God was 

    dead 

    Though his shrouds 
    were hoisted 

    The 
    naked 
    God did 
    live 

    This I 
    mean to 
    whisper 
    to my mind 
    Verse 11

    This I 
    mean to 
    laugh with 
    in my 
    mind 

    This I 
    mean my 
    mind to 
    serve 
    'til 

    Service 
    is but 
    Magic 

    Moving 
    through the 
    world 

    And 
    mind itself 
    is 
    Magic 

    Coursing 
    through the 
    flesh 

    And 
    flesh itself 
    is Magic 

    Dancing 
    on a clock 

    And 
    time itself 
    the magic 
    length of 

    God

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
