[Dan Swanö:]

Man is declining, man is dying out
Generation of despair
Man has no future, man is crying out
Echoes in the empty air

[Russell Allen:]

Mother Nature's striking back, protecting her domain
The last generation fades away

[Floor Jansen:]

We're the generation of despair

[Damian Wilson:]

But we must not give up hope, for man can be revived
It's alive, she's alive, we're alive!

[Dan Swanö:]

Man surrenders, man is giving in
Our world is breaking down
Man has no tomorrow, man has died within
This is our final hour

[Russell Allen:]

Mother Nature's changing course, preserving her own home
The last generation's on it's own

[Floor Jansen:]

We're the generation of despair

[Damian Wilson:]

But we can't give in to failure, man can still survive
It's alive, she's alive, we're alive!
