[The Incentive] 

[Daniel Gindenlow:] 

There must be a way to enrich our lives. 

A way to awaken a nation that dies. 

There must be a way to revive our past. 

A way to break free from a world that won't last. 

[Floor Jansen:] 

Take me back to when we lived another life 

Back to when we had no plan 

Take me back to when we struggled to survive 

Back to when it all began 

[Daniel Gindenlow:] 

There must be a way to reverse history 

A way to resume life, return to the sea 

There must be a way to win back what we lost. 

A way to escape this, whatever the cost 

[Floor Jansen:] 

Take me back to when we lived another life 

Back to when we had no plan 

Take me back to when we struggled to survive 

Back to when it all began 

[The Vision] 

[Tom Englund:] 

Explore the vastness of space 

Discover a wonderful grace 

Enter a brand new face 

See the world with a a newborn race [x2] 

[The Procedure] 

[Jonas Renkse:] 

We have no choice 

Life is passing us by 

We should rejoice 

I say we should try 

[Bob Catley:] 

Every million cycles 

shooting stars rip our sky. 

We could divert them 

on the day they passed us by. 

[Hansi Kursch:] 

And on that shining day there is a way 

For our DNA to reach a world to stay (world to stay!) 

[Jorn Lande:] 

Hmmm... 

Do we have the right to create life? 

And do we have the right to take it? Yeah 

Can we decide who lives and dies? 

Do you think they would even make it 

[Jonas Renkse:] We have no choice, life is passing us by 

[Bob Catley:] 

We all plant our seeds 

And guide them to their goal 

We cannot fail 

We have absolute control 

[Hansi Kursch:] 

And on that shining day there is a way 

For our DNA to reach a world to stay (world to stay!) 

[Jorn Lande:] 

Hmmm... 

Do we have the right to play gods? 

I strongly feel I have to make a stance 

Do you think we should take the odds? Yeah. 

Would they even stand chance? 

I don't think they ever will. 

Ever will... 

No... 

[Another Life] 

[Daniel Gildenlow:] 

Take me back to when we lived another life 

Back to when we had no plan 

Take me back to when we struggled to survive 

Back to when it all began 

[Bob Catley:] 

Take us back to when we lived another life 

Back to when we had no plan 

Take us back to when we struggled to survive 

Back to when it all began 

[Floor Jansen:] 

Take me back to when we lived another life 

Back to when we had no plan 

Take me back to when we struggled to survive 

Back to when it all began 

[Newborn Race] 

[Jorn Lande:] 

Explore the vastness of space 

Discover a wonderful place 

Enter a brand new phase 

[Jonas Renkse:] We should rejoice! 

[Jorn Lande:] See the world with a newborn race 

[Jonas Renkse:] I say we should try 

[Jorn Lande:] 

Explore the vastness of space 

Discover a wonderful place (do we have the rights?!) 

Enter a brand new phase 

See the world with a newborn race (we cannot fail!) 

[The Conclusion] 

[Daniel Gindenlow:] 

We found a way to enrich our lives 

A way to awaken the nation that's died
