Текст песни "Unnatural Selection" |
 (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
But lost our souls to a world of machines
(Jørn Lande:) Listen to the warning…
(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:)
This sudden change leads to overpopulation
Shifting the balance, destructive habitation
Killing a live, biological invasion
Consuming Earth by ruthless exploitation
(Jørn Lande:) Can you see the fire in their eyes?
(Bob Catley:) Can you hear the anguish in their cries?
(Jørn Lande:) Can you see the beauty in their eyes?
(Bob Catley:) Can you sense the love within their hearts?
(Jørn Lande:) I can taste the freedom we once had
(Bob Catley:) I can touch their pain when they feel sad
(Jørn Lande:) I can smell the fragrance of the air
(Bob Catley:) I remember times we used to share
(Hansi Kürsch:)
Don't want to live in a world that's dying
I'd rather die in a world that's living!
(Jørn Lande:) Listen to the warning…
"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" (Al Gore)
"This will not be another Vietnam" (George Bush)
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" (Franklin Delano Roosevelt)
"Our task is not only to win the battle, but to win the war" (Winston Churchill)
(Bob Catley:) We gave them feelings, what did they sense?
(Steve Lee:) Shut 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, and 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 left the planet in disarray...
(Bob Catley And Steve Lee:) We gave them dreams, and what did they dream?
(Hansi Kürsch:)
Don't want to live in a world that's dying
I'd rather die in a world that's living!
(Jørn Lande:)
Listen to the warning…
(Jonas Renkse:)
A chain of 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
(Jørn Lande:) Can you see the fire in their eyes?
(Bob Catley:) Can you hear the anguish in their cries?
(Jørn Lande:) Can you see the beauty in their art?
(Bob Catley:) Can you sense the love within their hearts?
(Jørn Lande:) I can taste the freedom we once had (Freedom, freedom)
(Bob Catley:) I can touch their pain (Oh, can you feel the fire?)
(Jørn Lande:) I can smell the fragrance of the air
(Bob Catley:) I relive the times we used to share (Yeah)
(Jørn 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?)
(Jørn 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 Kürsch:) Don't want to live in a world that's dying!
(Jørn Lande:) Oh yeah, so beautiful!
(Hansi Kürsch:) I'd rather to die in a world that's living! (Yeah, yeah!)
