[00:11.997] | We learned to band together and endeavor |
[00:14.598] | Clasp our hands together |
[00:15.886] | Man developed language, letters |
[00:17.730] | An incredible advantage, getting plans together |
[00:20.692] | But would we stand the test of time |
[00:22.576] | Against the planet's reckless climate |
[00:24.402] | And its angry weather? |
[00:25.264] | |
[00:25.507] | Spread the sails |
[00:26.680] | And head west against the gales |
[00:28.393] | And storms aboard Norse longboats |
[00:29.895] | With decks as dense as nails |
[00:31.847] | Our aim was riding waves |
[00:33.179] | And finding, claiming strange horizons |
[00:34.993] | Invading islands |
[00:36.142] | Native populations slain with violence |
[00:38.157] | Enslaved and made to aim skyward |
[00:39.936] | Think of bigger things - sphinxes, pyramids |
[00:42.178] | Raise them high in the name of different kings |
[00:44.330] | The different things we've held sacred, divine |
[00:46.577] | Through places and times |
[00:47.916] | The range of supplications and rites |
[00:49.517] | Through ages we find |
[00:50.773] | Nations arise |
[00:51.935] | As old civilizations crumble to dust |
[00:54.024] | Becoming strangers in time, waiting to die |
[00:56.523] | Replaced in the night |
[00:57.998] | The day breaks and the light changes |
[00:59.881] | Illuminating newer human faces as fights rage |
[01:02.822] | The human race is facing the might |
[01:04.950] | Of righteous states who would write |
[01:06.586] | The history books even if it took a knife's blade |
[01:08.867] | To find the right page |
[01:10.702] | Sengoku Jidai |
[01:12.197] | Men offered to die |
[01:13.768] | For the honor of a warrior's life |
[01:15.820] | |
[01:16.236] | The sun's coming and we're watching it rise |
[01:18.284] | As a new era's here, it's as solid as iron |
[01:21.646] | Pull the tongs from the fire |
[01:23.253] | Strike the hammer to the anvil |
[01:24.994] | Craft a weapon to bring an enemy to a standstill |
[01:28.436] | The blacksmith is the wizard that gives us |
[01:30.999] | These powers - devour enemies |
[01:32.913] | Leaping down from the siege towers |
[01:34.879] | The better the tech is |
[01:36.338] | The lesser the effort to wreck it |
[01:37.831] | The less time to see their eyes |
[01:39.554] | And feel sympathetic |
[01:40.801] | Never regret it |
[01:41.876] | A true knight never stays a true blade |
[01:44.224] | Never says touché |
[01:45.768] | But would forever lay in blue rays of weathered glades |
[01:48.970] | To demonstrate his never-ending dedication |
[01:51.410] | To the crusade |
[01:52.566] | Reformation through flame |
[01:54.334] | And after the cremation is a new age |
[01:56.972] | Time's quill is quick to spill its ink onto a new page |
[01:59.763] | |
[02:00.473] | The faces are the same as when in days gone |
[02:03.122] | But brains are cultivated thus creating |
[02:05.401] | The Renaissance |
[02:06.341] | We're still using steel tools to stay strong |
[02:09.621] | Replacing blades with greater trades |
[02:11.608] | Pen and paper, song |
[02:12.894] | Faith in God is tested, hiding in the desert |
[02:15.571] | Men excited, then enlightened by the scientific method |
[02:18.779] | Tried describing its expression |
[02:20.148] | By inscribing his impression |
[02:21.938] | When applying it to heavenly bodies |
[02:23.678] | That everybody reckoned |
[02:25.391] | Must have been made by a creator or a greater force |
[02:28.436] | Nature's author faced examination never faced before |
[02:31.530] | The grace of horse and rider |
[02:33.668] | Replaced by wars and violence |
[02:35.014] | Debased the laws of science |
[02:36.509] | Made the case for all the pious |
[02:38.125] | Why is it progress always leads to loads of mess |
[02:41.151] | The western region spread across the globe and coalesced |
[02:44.503] | Settlers spread disease with effortless ease |
[02:47.059] | Was it reckless or did it just happen inevitably? |
[02:50.011] | While evidently we never can see |
[02:51.797] | Through the lens of this century |
[02:53.368] | But there's no retreating now |
[02:54.766] | Whether or not it was meant to be |
[02:56.442] | |
[02:57.048] | The seven seas were sailed |
[02:58.656] | Navies prevailed |
[03:00.188] | Leaving trails of devastation in their wake |
[03:02.365] | As people wailed |
[03:03.412] | A world of wonder plundered traded in the name of progress |
[03:06.591] | But human nature's way shows we should expect no less |
[03:09.619] | Oh yes, struck by the realisation this is just civilisation |
[03:13.033] | In the natal stages of industrialisation, trust me when I say |
[03:17.195] | That previous achievements are just child's play |
[03:19.901] | Compared to this colossal school of thought |
[03:21.831] | We set the world ablaze with fossil fuel we bought |
[03:24.121] | It's an epiphany |
[03:25.236] | Giving us pretty much infinite energy |
[03:27.068] | It's electricity |
[03:28.353] | Edison, Nikola Tesla - different inventors |
[03:30.636] | Giving us everything we depend on |
[03:31.988] | Whether it's engines, cinema, television or telecoms |
[03:34.618] | Sending a message and spreading it on |
[03:36.273] | These unreal frontier channels |
[03:38.042] | We develop the tech and then sell it on |
[03:39.896] | The reel travels round |
[03:41.778] | With the speed of a machine gun's barrels |
[03:44.218] | Machinery's a meaner beast and we're still in the saddle |
[03:47.078] | No need for cavalry - battle superseded that with ease |
[03:50.632] | Allies and Axis |
[03:51.864] | Charging each other like batteries |
[03:53.755] | A power vacuum allowing the superstates to flourish |
[03:56.571] | Redistribute the food even if it means people are malnourished |
[04:00.140] | Propaganda is the only view that you're allowed to publish |
[04:03.300] | Cause totalitarians are well aware of how to punish |
[04:06.459] | Gunning down numbers countless |
[04:07.883] | For doubtless nothings that they've done |
[04:09.474] | But that won't stop subversive insurgents |
[04:11.459] | From coming out with courage |
[04:12.978] | Using their power to the fullest |
[04:14.775] | Whether creativity or demonstrating general relativity |
[04:17.962] | Evidently when we find time to be efficient |
[04:20.612] | Einsteinian clear vision can reveal the precision behind the blinds |
[04:24.300] | Nuclear fission |
[04:25.379] | Despite derision |
[04:26.607] | Physicists decide the mission is dividing, splitting atoms |
[04:29.891] | 'Till a blinding light is given, quite efficient |
[04:32.359] | The divine right to mankind's plight is christened |
[04:35.023] | A minor decision hijacked by politicians |
[04:37.985] | But as long as they listen to the will of the people |
[04:40.332] | Treat all as brilliant equals, we can achieve more |
[04:42.904] | Than we've ever conceived before |
[04:44.209] | |
[04:44.540] | Leave this poor place |
[04:45.999] | Please explore space |
[04:47.541] | Earth, she's a small base |
[04:48.979] | Even more awaits |
[04:50.377] | I implore great leaders |
[04:52.373] | To lead with all the grace |
[04:53.706] | Of which we're capable |
[04:54.927] | And be the author of your fate |
[04:56.925] | Band together and endeavour |
[04:59.019] | Clasp our hands together |
[05:00.106] | As our ancestors have |
[05:01.431] | And stand the test of time forever |

[02:20.148] | By inscribing his impression |
[02:21.938] | When applying it to heavenly bodies |
[02:23.678] | That everybody reckoned |
[02:25.391] | Must have been made by a creator or a greater force |
[02:28.436] | Nature' s author faced examination never faced before |
[02:31.530] | The grace of horse and rider |
[02:33.668] | Replaced by wars and violence |
[02:35.014] | Debased the laws of science |
[02:36.509] | Made the case for all the pious |
[02:38.125] | Why is it progress always leads to loads of mess |
[02:41.151] | The western region spread across the globe and coalesced |
[02:44.503] | Settlers spread disease with effortless ease |
[02:47.059] | Was it reckless or did it just happen inevitably? |
[02:50.011] | While evidently we never can see |
[02:51.797] | Through the lens of this century |
[02:53.368] | But there' s no retreating now |
[02:54.766] | Whether or not it was meant to be |
[02:56.442] | |
[02:57.048] | The seven seas were sailed |
[02:58.656] | Navies prevailed |
[03:00.188] | Leaving trails of devastation in their wake |
[03:02.365] | As people wailed |
[03:03.412] | A world of wonder plundered traded in the name of progress |
[03:06.591] | But human nature' s way shows we should expect no less |
[03:09.619] | Oh yes, struck by the realisation this is just civilisation |
[03:13.033] | In the natal stages of industrialisation, trust me when I say |
[03:17.195] | That previous achievements are just child' s play |
[03:19.901] | Compared to this colossal school of thought |
[03:21.831] | We set the world ablaze with fossil fuel we bought |
[03:24.121] | It' s an epiphany |
[03:25.236] | Giving us pretty much infinite energy |
[03:27.068] | It' s electricity |
[03:28.353] | Edison, Nikola Tesla different inventors |
[03:30.636] | Giving us everything we depend on |
[03:31.988] | Whether it' s engines, cinema, television or telecoms |
[03:34.618] | Sending a message and spreading it on |
[03:36.273] | These unreal frontier channels |
[03:38.042] | We develop the tech and then sell it on |
[03:39.896] | The reel travels round |
[03:41.778] | With the speed of a machine gun' s barrels |
[03:44.218] | Machinery' s a meaner beast and we' re still in the saddle |
[03:47.078] | No need for cavalry battle superseded that with ease |
[03:50.632] | Allies and Axis |
[03:51.864] | Charging each other like batteries |
[03:53.755] | A power vacuum allowing the superstates to flourish |
[03:56.571] | Redistribute the food even if it means people are malnourished |
[04:00.140] | Propaganda is the only view that you' re allowed to publish |
[04:03.300] | Cause totalitarians are well aware of how to punish |
[04:06.459] | Gunning down numbers countless |
[04:07.883] | For doubtless nothings that they' ve done |
[04:09.474] | But that won' t stop subversive insurgents |
[04:11.459] | From coming out with courage |
[04:12.978] | Using their power to the fullest |
[04:14.775] | Whether creativity or demonstrating general relativity |
[04:17.962] | Evidently when we find time to be efficient |
[04:20.612] | Einsteinian clear vision can reveal the precision behind the blinds |
[04:24.300] | Nuclear fission |
[04:25.379] | Despite derision |
[04:26.607] | Physicists decide the mission is dividing, splitting atoms |
[04:29.891] | ' Till a blinding light is given, quite efficient |
[04:32.359] | The divine right to mankind' s plight is christened |
[04:35.023] | A minor decision hijacked by politicians |
[04:37.985] | But as long as they listen to the will of the people |
[04:40.332] | Treat all as brilliant equals, we can achieve more |
[04:42.904] | Than we' ve ever conceived before |
[04:44.209] | |
[04:44.540] | Leave this poor place |
[04:45.999] | Please explore space |
[04:47.541] | Earth, she' s a small base |
[04:48.979] | Even more awaits |
[04:50.377] | I implore great leaders |
[04:52.373] | To lead with all the grace |
[04:53.706] | Of which we' re capable |
[04:54.927] | And be the author of your fate |
[04:56.925] | Band together and endeavour |
[04:59.019] | Clasp our hands together |
[05:00.106] | As our ancestors have |
[05:01.431] | And stand the test of time forever |
[05:03.616] | |
