[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
[05:03.616]

[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]
[05:07.450]
