War of Oceans
We put our trust in the future and in its technology
Radioactive waste and other problems yet unsolved by man
What if our future selves
Are refugees on the run
Scavenging for food (and) chasing shelter
To hide from the sun
Control your fate
Before it's too late
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind
Coming generations, they'll have enough of their own problems
It's naive to think they'll also solve the ones selfishly handed down by us
Why can't we stop ourselves
From polluting the water on which we depend
(And) Wallace Hartley will play with his men
While we sink towards our bitter end
Nearer, my God, to Thee
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes I hear it
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind
Two hundred years of abuse
Too late for truce
And whoever wins, we will lose
Nearer, my God, to Thee
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes we all hear it
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it
We will lose
The war of oceans
And once we're gone
From this world
Once we're gone the water's won't miss our kind
Radioactive waste and other problems yet unsolved by man
What if our future selves
Are refugees on the run
Scavenging for food (and) chasing shelter
To hide from the sun
Control your fate
Before it's too late
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind
Coming generations, they'll have enough of their own problems
It's naive to think they'll also solve the ones selfishly handed down by us
Why can't we stop ourselves
From polluting the water on which we depend
(And) Wallace Hartley will play with his men
While we sink towards our bitter end
Nearer, my God, to Thee
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes I hear it
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind
Two hundred years of abuse
Too late for truce
And whoever wins, we will lose
Nearer, my God, to Thee
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes we all hear it
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it
We will lose
The war of oceans
And once we're gone
From this world
Once we're gone the water's won't miss our kind
