Newborn Race Lyrics

A] The Incentive

There must be a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken a nation that dies
There must be a way to revive our past
A way to break free from a world that won't last

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

There must be a way to reverse history
A way to resume life, return to the sea
There must be a way to win back all we lost
A way to escape this, whatever the cost

B] The Vision

Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
Seed a world with a newborn race!

C] The Procedure

We have no choice, life is passing us by
We should rejoice, I say we should try

Every million cycles, shooting stars rip our sky
We could diver them, on the day they pass us by

And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

Do we have the right to create life?
And do we have the right to take it?
Can we decide who lives and dies?
Do you think they would even make it?

We have no choice , life is passing us by

We'll plant our seeds
And guide them to their goal
We cannot fail, we have absolute control

And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

Do we have the right to play gods?
I strongly feel I have to make a stance
Do you think we should take the odds?
Would they even stand a chance?
I don't think they ever will...
Ever will...no!

D] Another Life

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Take us back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take us back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

E] Newborn Race

Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
Seed a world with a brand new race!

F] The Conclusion

We found a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken a nation that dies

Cover art for Newborn Race lyrics by Ayreon

"While Floor's Forever wants to come back "To when we lived another life", Daniel's Forever thinks, looking for a way to continue living but reviving their past. Tom's Forever suggests to "Explore the vastness of space", Jonas' say they should try, for their life is passing by, and Bob's Forever advises the use of their seeds. While Hansi's Forever hopes that their DNA one day will reach a world, Jørn's Forever question himself and the others about the fact of creating and destroying life. Jonas' Forever rushes the other, Bob's Forever rely on the absolute control, but Jørn's Forever doesn't believe that they will stand a chance. In the end, Jørn's Forever is persuaded of doing this, and Daniel's Forever cries that they have found a way "To awaken the nation that’s died"." -wiki
