An excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 speech at Riverside Church in New York City, giving somewhat of a lead-in, albeit an elusive one, to the subject matter of the rest of the album.

Lyrics
We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: 'Too late.' If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time, reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful struggle for a new world.
