Ayreon: Newborn Race

'''''(Part I - The Incentive)'''''

''(Daniel Gildenlw:)''
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 Gildenlw:)''
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

'''''(Part II - The Vision)'''''

''(Tom Englund:)''
Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
Seed the world with a newborn race

'''''(Part III - 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 pass us by

''(Hansi Krsch:)''
And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

''(Jrn Lande:)''
Hmmm
Do we have the right to create life?
And do we have the right to take it?
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'll plant our seeds
And guide them to their goal
We cannot fail, we have absolute control

''(Hansi Krsch:)''
And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

''(Jrn 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?
Would they even stand a chance?
I don't think they ever will
Ever will No

'''''(Part IV - Another Life)'''''

''(Daniel Gildenlw:)''
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

'''''(Part V - Newborn Race)'''''

''(Jrn Lande:)'' Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
''(Jonas Renkse:)'' We should rejoice!
''(Jrn Lande:)'' Seed the world with a newborn race
''(Jonas Renkse:)'' I say we should try
''(Jrn Lande:)'' Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place (Do we have the rights?)
Enter a brand new phase
Seed the world with a newborn race (We cannot fail!)

'''''(Part VI - The Conclusion)'''''

''(Daniel Gildenlw:)''
We found a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken the nation that dies
