Unnatural Selection
Ayreon

[Tom Englund:]

We have to teach them all that we know

Their evolution moves far too slow

Expand their minds and reject compliance

Upgrade their knowledge, upload our science


[Steve Lee:]

This revolution will lead to their demise,

We should not make the same mistake twice

We're kept alive by artificial means

We've lost our souls to a world of machines


[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [8X]


[Tom Englund:]

We need to teach them to fight disease

They seem so helpless and need our expertise

I see them dying all across the globe

Their greatest foe is but a small microbe


[Steve Lee:]

The sudden change leads to overpopulation

Shifting the balance, destructive habitation

Killing a live biological invasion

Consuming it by ruthless exploitation


[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the fire in their eyes?

[Bob Catley:] Can you hear the anguish in their cries?

[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the beauty in their eyes?

[Bob Catley:] Can you sense the love within their hearts?

[Jorn Lande:] I can taste the freedom we once had

[Bob Catley:] I can touch their pain when they feel sad

[Jorn Lande:] I can smell the fragrance of the air

[Bob Catley:] I remember times we used to share


[Hansi Kursch:]

Don't want to live in a world that's dying

I want to die in a world that's living! [2X]


[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [8X]


(Before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. - JFK)


(Humankind has acquired a collective power and ability to dramatically alter the environment of the entire planet - Gore)


(This will not be another Vietnam - Bush)


(The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - Roosevelt)


(Our task is not only to win the battle, but to win the war - Churchill))


[Bob Catley:] We gave them feelings - what did they sense?

[Steve Lee:] Shout out the world and put up a fence!

[Bob Catley:] We gave them science - what did they do?

[Steve Lee:] They built a bomb and they used it too.

[Bob Catley:] We gave them reason - what did they learn?

[Steve Lee:] Warmed up the planet and made it burn!

[Bob Catley:] We gave them art - what did they make?

[Steve Lee:] Nuclear weapons for their own sake!

[Bob Catley:] We gave them insight - what did they see?

[Steve Lee:] Degrade the noble, enslave the free!

[Bob Catley:] We gave them wisdom - what did they teach?

[Steve Lee:] Destroying all that's within their reach!

[Bob Catley:] We gave them language - what did they say?

[Steve Lee:] They put the planet in disarray!

[Bob Catley, Steve Lee:] We gave them dreams - and what did they dream?


[Hansi Kursch:]

Don't want to live in a world that's dying.

I want to die in a world that's living!


[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [4X]


[Jonas Renkse:]

A chain on guilt around our neck

A planet straying in darkness

Can we save the lives we wrecked?

I say we should find a way

I say stop this decay


[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the fire in their eyes?

[Bob Catley:] Can you hear the anguish in their cries?

[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the beauty in their art?

[Bob Catley:] Can you sense the love within their hearts?

[Jorn Lande:] I can taste the freedom we once had (freedom, freedom)

[Bob Catley:] I can touch their pain (oh, can you feel the fire?)

[Jorn Lande:] I can smell the fragrance of the air.

[Bob Catley:] I relive the times we used to share (yeah).


[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the fire in their eyes? (Oh!)

[Bob Catley:] Can you hear the anguish in their cries? (Can you feel the fire?)

[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the beauty in their art?

[Bob Catley:] Can you sense the love within their hearts? (Can you feel the beauty?)


[Hansi Kursch:] Don't want to live in a world that's dying!

[Jorn Lande:] Oh yeah, so beautiful!

[Hansi Kursch:] I want to die in a world that's living! (Yeah, yeah!)
