[Tom Englund:]
2
We have to teach them all that we know

Their evolution moves far too slow

Expand their minds and reject compliance
5
Upgrade their knowledge, upload our science
6
[Steve Lee:]
7
This revolution will lead to their demise,
8
We should not make the same mistake twice
9
We're kept alive by artificial means
10
We've lost our souls to a world of machines

[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [8X]
12
[Tom Englund:]
13
We need to teach them to fight disease
14
They seem so helpless and need our expertise

I see them dying all across the globe
16
Their greatest foe is but a small microbe
17
[Steve Lee:]
18
The sudden change leads to overpopulation
19
Shifting the balance, destructive habitation
20
Killing a live biological invasion
21
Consuming it by ruthless exploitation

[Bob Catley:] I remember times we used to share

31
Don't want to live in a world that's dying
32
I want to die in a world that's living! [2X]

I say stop this decay
