| Spoken part | |
| Les journées de conflit font enfin partie du passé. | |
| Le débat a remplacé la nécessité de prendre les armes. | |
| Il y a une multitude d'exemples, de manières où le passé se heurte au présent - | |
| Ce sont des sujets de conversation ou de discussions philosophiques. | |
| On base les réponses sur la compréhension mutuelle et non sur l'ignorance. | |
| [Intro:] | |
| It's time to look ahead, or the past and present will collide | |
| 'cos what the future brings, is happiness for all mankind | |
| [Verse] | |
| Conflict and pain | |
| Are historical emotions, now laid to rest | |
| The ways of the past collide | |
| With the present now, are topics for | |
| Philosophical discussion | |
| [Bridge] | |
| Alone in exile, and in conflict with itself | |
| The Monomale searches | |
| A constant fight to come too terms | |
| In a collide-o-scope, of morals past and present | |
| [Verse] | |
| Old familiar ways, an' habits never die | |
| They're hard to change | |
| You can't teach an old dog new tricks | |
| It's best to let it go, on it's way | |
| To roam across the world alone | |
| [Bridge] | |
| In this new order | |
| Now a prison is a place, of great historic value | |
| A place where children play and learn | |
| In this society, the Neofems created | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Now it's a time for learning | |
| Gone are the ways of old | |
| Right now is the time for sharing | |
| The knowledge learnt by all | |
| Don't let the grass keep growing | |
| Don't sit and watch the water flow | |
| Don't live in the past forever | |
| Look to the future there's a sign of hope | |
| [Middle-8:] | |
| Let yourself, just drift away | |
| To where, a new place is born | |
| A place, where children learn and play | |
| We are as one, life and all |
