Lyrics

On the one side, there are those who think we should wait
And on the other, some of us are chasing the day
It's just crazy, there's nothing more that this world can give
And yet this selfish human kind are searching once again
How do you say that your world has been drained, it's the end?
How do you know when the bubble explodes what is left?
Do we believe that for all that we've seen it's just fate?
I tell you, my friend, before it's the endless debate
Oh, the debate
Well, it's so easy, clear as day for all of us to see
Though people wonder what a million tomorrows will bring
I see the future, an old wretched radioactive grey
A land laid bare and empty, a soulless
Place of darkness, dust and pain
How do you say that your world has been drained, it's the end?
How do you know when the bubble explodes what is left?
Do we believe that for all that we've seen it's just fate?
I tell you, my friend, before it's the endless debate
Debate
Debate
Debate
It's just crazy, there's nothing more that this world can give
And yet this selfish human kind are searching once again
It's so easy, clear as day for all of us to see
People wonder what a million tomorrows will bring
How do you say that your world has been drained, it's the end?
How do you know when the bubble explodes what is left?
Do we believe that for all that we've seen it's just fate?
I tell you, my friend, before it's the endless debate
Debate
Debate
Debate
Try as we may, we just can't stop the slide
We're dancing on into the void
An army of users that take it in vain
Destruction of what we hold true
To cradle this earth and hold hands in the light
And fight for what we believe
Savour the day that the future will bring
Maybe our children will see
Cherish the thought that it won't last that long
Your sell-by date's now at an end
So finish your starship and climb on aboard
It's time to go searching again
Finish your starship and climb on aboard
It's time to go searching again
