Translation
Bilingual
In search for a new home
For the Earth is gone
Find another galaxy
Were society can be reborn
Interstellar pilgrims
Journey without end
Multigenerational
Forefathers actions to amend
The corporations did not care
Profit margins, billionaires
Our home was dying
Crying, despair
Too late to listen
No more respite, no more repair
Dear listener, we are happy to report
The deliberations today did not fall short
The commission has devised a plan
To try and save the species of man
A specialized team will be assembled
And be send to a destination unknown
To rebuild the world as we know it
So our apocalypse can be postponed
All these different people
Different walks of life
Different cultures, races
Same drive to survive
Finally united
There's a common goal
The faith of their species
Fully in their control
Egoism ruled our home
Self centered living, too long condoned
Destroyed nations
Greed and death
Our own wrongdoing
Have to leave, there's nothing left
Dear listener, behind me is a sight to behold
Every part of the launch so far has been safe and controlled
The afterburner ignited perfectly on time
The spacecraft will now start the main portion of its climb
Orbital altitude will be reached in less than ten minutes
Then the first stage of the mission will be finished
The exact moment that this will occur, has not been released as of yet
The rest are doomed to fall
Resources dwindling
But they try to keep hope
Dear listener, since the launch of Eden six years have gone past
And we have received back from them at last
The mission is going according to plan
Preparations for the gravity assist of Jupiter have already begun
Their journey will continue towards places yet unexplored
Hoping the greatness of humanity can be restored
We on Earth will not be there to tell this tale
But hopefully it won't be to no avail
Stars gleam in our eyes (in our eyes)
Will we find a destination
Will it be annihilation
For now the end's a mystery (you will see)
Will we lay a new foundation
Or will be this be our devastation
