[Jonas Renkse:] Once a world, endless and free, horizons unbroken Now a world of bounded frontiers, the elders have spoken (our home) [Daniel Gildenlöw:] Once a world, eternal and blue, floating, escaping Now a world that's blinding my view, shadows shaping (alone) [Chorus:] [Magali Luyten:] Liquid eternity courses through our veins Liquid eternity nourishes our brains Liquid eternity, a world that does not live Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield [Bob Catley:] Once a world of fear and dismay of fleeing and hiding Now a world that's peaceful and safe, so caring and providing, our home... [Chorus] [Tom Englund:] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? [Jonas Renkse:] Our home [Jorn Lande:] I'm losing my reason to live, the essence of life [Floor Jansen:] But the system's got so much to give or would you rather die? [Jorn Lande:] I'm losing my pride and my joy, my will to believe [Floor Jansen:] Why would you come back and destroy all we have achieved? [Chorus] [Tom Englund:] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've loved to play? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? [Chorus] [Tom Englund:] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? [Jonas Renkse:] Our home

[Ty Tabor:] I hugged the wife and drove to work today It was only a few miles Was in no hurry but the lights were changing up ahead So I stepped on the gas I checked the web and left it on over night Downloading all the latest files Peer to peer, the torrent flows into my life And I disconnect [Chorus:] [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, no need to remind us [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know but won't connect the dots [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, locked away inside us [Ty Tabor, Arjen Lucassen:] We are dying for tomorrow We are living for today [Ty Tabor:] I rushed back home to my family I got my son a brand new game No need to cook, I picked up fast food on the way And it's finger-licking good Have you seen little Steve today? Guess he's still up there in his room But if he comes down to I'll be right here just staring at the tube Playing his game [Chorus] [Ty Tabor:] Don't you think it's rather warm tonight Especially for the time of year I turn up the air Pull the sheets up to my chin And I close my eyes Can't relax, can't fall asleep Should I take another pill? I turn up the lights, light up a cigarette and smile I've got it made [Chorus:] [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, no need to remind us [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, but won't connect the dots [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, locked away inside us [Ty Tabor, Arjen Lucassen:] We are dying for tomorrow [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, no need to remind us [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, but won't connect the dots [Ty Tabor:] We all know [Arjen Lucassen:] We all know, locked away inside us [Ty Tabor, Arjen Lucassen:] We are dying for tomorrow We are living for today

The water breaks the golden sunrays Silver dances on the waves But a memory… I often dream about the old days Playing hide and seek within the caves But a memory… I still feel the rising tides embrace me Carrying me to a place unknown But a memory… I remember all the love they gave me In this fluid world we call our home But a memory… Beneath the waves we were invincible In a world without frontiers World without walls Beneath the waves we were inseparable In a world without walls Faces of cerulean oceans Mirroring stars and sable skies But a memory… How I miss the scent of sweet emotions Of a world so pure, devoid of cries But a memory… Beneath the waves we were unbeatable In the silence of the sea In a world without frontiers World without walls Beneath the waves we were untouchable In the kingdom of the free In a world without walls Beneath the waves we were invincible In the silence of the sea In a world without frontiers World without walls Beneath the waves we were inseparable In the kingdom of the free In a world without walls Face the facts, there is no way back Arise! It's time to act Face the facts, our future is black Arise, we´re on the wrong track Water breaks the golden sunrays Silver dances on the waves But a memory… I often dream about the old days Playing hide and seek within the caves But a memory… Beneath the waves we were unbeatable In the silence of the sea In a world without frontiers World without walls Beneath the waves we were untouchable In our kingdom of the free In a world without walls World without walls Beneath the waves we were invincible In the silence of the sea In a world without frontiers Beneath the waves we were inseparable In our kingdom of the free In a world without walls Instrumental

I'm in love, though we never met Looking for clues, I search the net Dear PX, I'm waiting for your mail Check every hour, to no avail Been up all night, couldn't get to sleep No way out, I'm in too deep Dear PX, it's been 11 days I'm kind of lost within this maze Are you there?

Through their eyes we will see With their hands we will create In their world we will be free With our minds we'll shape their fate Now the die is cast, the first step taken A glimmer of hope lights up our lives Visions of the past, dreams forsaken Forming right before our eyes We're alive Through their pain we'll learn to live Remember all life has to give Now the die is cast, the first step taken A glimmer of hope lights up our lives Visions of the past, dreams forsaken Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes We're alive! So alive! I see a planet, perfect for our needs Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds There must be life First remove any trace of doubt! They may all die; don't you think we should check it out? We have no choice, we waited far too long This is our planet, this is where they belong We may regret this Is this the way it's supposed to be? A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty! In the World of Tomorrow Dreams Our future lies In the World of Tomorrow Dreams Our hopes will rise I see mainly reptiles A lower form of intelligence Mere brainless creatures with no demonstrable sentience What makes us superior; we did not do so great ourselves! A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells In the World of Tomorrow Dreams Our future lies In the World of Tomorrow Dreams Our hopes will rise Instrumental And as the smoke slowly rises Our planet's bare and cold But as the black sky brightens A wondrous world unfolds We're at the dawn of a new age As we hear the final cries Ready to enter the next stage From the ashes we will rise And as the smoke slowly rises Our planet's bare and cold But as the black sky brightens A wondrous world unfolds We're at the dawn of a new age As we hear the final cries Ready to enter the next stage From the ashes we will rise! Now the die is cast, the first step taken A glimmer of hope lights up our lives Visions of the past, dreams forsaken Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes We are alive

[Wudstik:] It all came to me in the wake of a dream Bending space and reversing the stream The knowledge is mine to influence time And avert our decline We could use this to salvage mankind Send projections into the past As humanity fades in their minds Let them know man won't last It all came to me in the wake of a dream [Chorus:] [Marjan Welman:] This may be our last chance if we want man to survive A mirror reflection Show them our world as it dies Cut through the barrier and do what no one has dared Let's break the equation E=mc2 [Wudstik:] Our first try was a minor success No control, I can but guess We have to move now; don't know just how No mistakes are allowed We can make no mistakes I have sent it but nothing changes Just a line in some nation lore I don't know just how far it reaches Everything's like before It all came to me in the wake of a dream [Chorus] (The outcome of the final experiment has now been placed in your hands)

It's the calm before the storm It's the quiet before the war It's the time when all will be decided All will be decided If nobody heeds the echoes on the wind It's the end of the chain Destruction of the fittest It's the end of our reign We've seen it all before It's the end of man's evolution The end of the evolution For nobody heeds the echoes on the wind Do you hear the sirens? Do you see the burst? Do you feel the fire? All the world's a radioactive grave! I can hear them crying! I can see the fear! I can feel them dying! Washed away by deadly gamma waves! Do you hear them calling? Do you see the hurt? Do you feel them failing? All the world's a blazing funeral pyre! I can hear the wailing! I can see the wrath! I can feel them failing! Washed away by a scorching sea of fire! Do you hear the sirens? Do you see the burst? Do you feel the fire? All the world's a radioactive grave! I can hear them crying I can see the fear I can see them dying Washed away by deadly gamma waves! Silence so loud, not a soul... left alive Darkness a shroud... 2085 All our dreams have disappeared They burned down, tree of life Confirming all that we have feared... 2085 Don't give up, remember how we felt Fire rushing through our veins Now's the time to rise up from our hell Now's the time to free our brains The meaning of life is to give life meaning Go too fast, move too slow Restore the balance between thinking and feeling, open up and let it flow No side has won, struggle to... survive Our quest here is done... 2085 All our hopes have disappeared Our race will... not thrive Time will not recall year... 2085 Don't give in, remember all we learned The spark of life it did ignite We regained the rage for which we yearned We regained our will to fight We must resolve this human equation We're already dead if we don't try To welcome challenge, generic variation Stop the machines, prepare to die! He's the last man alive Searching for the answers Knowing he won't survive To the mystery of life Relives the past, and dreams of the future Dreaming of the future And soon he'll set free And the sleeper will awake His spirit on the wind Make us whole, Migrator soul Follow me home, complete the circle We must survive, restore our lives The way I'll show, complete the circle Send back visions Into the past Of war and decay Hear the final cries! I can see them feel In a world without walls Through their eyes I see them dying We have to teach them Migrator soul We regained our will to fight We regained… We found a way I know we'll make it in the end Listen to the warning We gave them language What did they say? What did they learn? We have no chance We are the future We are the pain Complete the circle! Aaaaah!!!!
