Condemned To Live

I can't believe it really happened
It's all slowly sinking in
I left behind a hopeless race
To fight a war they cannot win

My petty life, it seems so trivial
A whole world is about to die
If all those billions fade away
Then who am I... to stay alive

Condemned to live
Doomed to leave my world to die

The guilt weighs heavy on my mind

Trapped in this void
Deprived of dignity and joy

Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

We're about to start our journey
So focus on what lies ahead

Liquid Eternity

We have the chance to save our future
We're alive, the past is dead

The Source will set us free

We need to find a way to thrive there
Preservation of our race

Liquid Eternity

An alteration, gene mutation, transformation of our strain

The Source will set us free

Condemned to live
Doomed to leave our world to die
The guilt weighs heavy on our mind
Trapped in this void
Deprived of dignity and joy
Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

Condemned to live
Doomed to leave our world to die

A fate we could not avoid

The guilt weighs heavy on our minds

But we had no other choice

Trapped in this void
Deprived of joy

Now we need to think of ourselves

Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

We need to break out of this hell!
