[Part I - Beneath the Waves]


[Daniel Gildenlöw:]

The water breaks the golden sunrays

Silver dances on the waves

But a memory…

I often dream about the old days

Playing hide and seek within the caves

But a memory…


[Bob Catley:]

I still feel the rising tides embrace me

Carrying me to a place unknown

But a memory…

I remember all the love they gave me

In this fluid world we call our home

But a memory…


[Anneke Van Giersbergen:]

Beneath the waves we were invincible

In a world without frontiers

[Floor Jansen:] World without walls


[Anneke Van Giersbergen:]

Beneath the waves we were inseparable

In a world without walls


[Steve Lee:]

Faces of cerulean oceans

Mirroring stars and sable skies

But a memory…

How I miss the scent of sweet emotions

Of a world so pure, devoid of cries

But a memory…

[Jørn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were unbeatable

[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea

[Jørn Lande:] In a world without frontiers

[Floor Jansen:] World without walls

[Jørn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were untouchable

[Floor Jansen:] In the kingdom of the free

[Jørn Lande:] In a world without walls

[Steve Lee:] Beneath the waves we were invincible

[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea

[Steve Lee:] In a world without frontiers

[Floor Jansen:] World without walls

[Steve Lee:] Beneath the waves we were inseparable

[Floor Jansen:] In the kingdom of the free

[Steve Lee:] In a world without walls


[Part II - Face the Facts]


[Hansi Kürsch, Anneke Van Giersbergen And Floor Jansen:]

Face the facts, there is no way back

Arise! It's time to act

Face the facts, our future is black

Arise, we´re on the wrong track


[Part III - But a Memory…]


[Tom Englund:]

Water breaks the golden sunrays

Silver dances on the waves

But a memory…

I often dream about the old days

Playing hide and seek within the caves

But a memory…


[Part IV - World Without Walls]

[Jørn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were unbeatable

[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea

[Jørn Lande:] In a world without frontiers

[Floor Jansen:] World without walls

[Jørn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were untouchable

[Floor Jansen:] In our kingdom of the free

[Jørn Lande:] In a world without walls

[Floor Jansen:] World without walls

[Jørn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were invincible

[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea

[Jørn Lande:] In a world without frontiers

Beneath the waves we were inseparable

[Floor Jansen:] In our kingdom of the free

[Jørn Lande:] In a world without walls
