[Dan Swanö:]
Man is declining, man is dying out
generation of despair
man has no future, man is crying out
echoes in the empty air
[Russell Allen:]
Mother Nature’s striking back, protecting her domain
the last generation fades away
[Floor Jansen:]
we’re the generation of despair
[Damian Wilson:]
but we must not give up hope, for man can be revived
it’s alive, she’s alive, we’re alive!
[Dan Swanö:]
Man surrenders, man is giving in
our world is breaking down
man has no tomorrow, man has died within
this is our final hour
[Russell Allen:]
Mother Nature’s changing course, preserving her own home
the last generation’s on its own
[Floor Jansen:]
we’re the generation of despair
[Damian Wilson:]
but we can’t give in to failure, man can still survive
it’s alive, she’s alive, we’re alive!
