[Intro]
For all of existence
Humanity has been guided by only one principle:
To keep living
(Living, living, living, living, living, living, living, living)
[Interlude]
...栄る 世界
マザーガイア 女神が見守る
大地が調和する
限りは栄る 世界
マザーガイア 女神が見守る
大地が調和する
限りは栄る 世界
マザーガイア 女神が見守る
大地が調和する
限り限り限り...
[Verse 1]
We will never cease to seek the day
Or give up the future, come what may
Living runs in our blood
Though the Earth will turn a final time
There is more to know and much to find
So we must hold the sun
Over us, over us
[Break]
False prophets proclaim that the end is nigh
And that humanity is not worth existence
This is a trap laid to ensnare the living
A lie for the weak-willed, the inhuman
Their temples are in disarray
And they surely cannot know
What only Gaia knows
The resurrection will come
Only when Gaia requires it
It will not come soon
If we care for our mother
Instead, we will be well rested
[Chorus]
And we will be well rested
When the ascension comes
And we will be well rested
When the ascension comes
And we will be well rested
When the ascension comes
And we will be well rested
When the ascension comes
And we will be well rested
When the ascension comes
And we will be, yeah
[Verse 2]
We are taught hopeless death
To break down our resistance to it
This is a hallmark of the unholy temple
We must fight the unnatural cause of anti-humanity
And listen to the Earth's word
[Bridge]
Humanity (All life)
We carry forward (A family)
Will follow us (In silence)
'Til the day we arise for
Eternity (All time)
Is stored within us
Our destiny (Is a path that never alters)
From the first to the last of
Humanity (All life)
We carry forward (A family)
Will follow us (In silence)
'Til the day we arise for
Eternity (All time)
Is stored within us
Our destiny (Is a path that never alters)
From the first to the last of
We carry forward (A family)
(In silence)
'Til the day we arise for
Is stored within us
Our destiny
From the first
Humanity
Will follow us
Eternity
Our destiny
From the first
(All life)
'Til the day we arise for
(Is a path that never alters)
[Outro]
We have survived a hundred apocalypses (A family)
Doomsday hasn't come yet
You cannot stop civilisation
