The Fifth Extinction

Lyrics for The Fifth Extinction

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 Oh, visions of the past, dreams forsaken Reignite the sparkle in our eyes Oh, oh, oh! We're alive! So alive! Huh! I see a planet perfect for our needs Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds Oh, 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 Oh, we may regret this Is this the way it's supposed to be? 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 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 In the world of tomorrow dreams Our future lies In the world of tomorrow dreams Our hopes 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 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 Reignite the sparkle in our eyes We are alive
