Intro: Em F F#
Em/B           Am          Em/B
 Once a world, endless and free

  Em/G     Em/F#
Horizons unbroken

Em/B            Am          Em/B
 Now a world of bounded frontiers

    Em/G        Em/F#       Em    Am B Em
The elders have spoken (our home)
Once a world, eternal and blue Floating, escaping Now a world that's blinding my view Shadows shaping (alone) [Chorus:]
Em               Am              B
 Liquid eternity courses through our veins

Em               Am        B
 Liquid eternity nourishes our brains

Em                Am                B
 Liquid eternity, a world that does not live

Em                Am               B
 Liquid eternity, a life that does not give
Once a world of fear and dismay Of fleeing and hiding Now a world that's peaceful and safe So caring and providing, our home... [Chorus]
Cmaj7                          G#           F
 Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?

Cmaj7                     G#             F
 Would you prefer to be impaired or even dead?

Cmaj7                         G#                    F
 Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?

Cmaj7                       G#         G# G F
 Would you prefer to live a mortal life     instead?
Em Flute Solo: repeat Em Em C B x4 (skip last B and go directly to Bm for synth) Synth Solo: Bm F#m Bm F#m G Bm G Db7 Bm Violin Solo: repeat Em Em C B x4
Bm      A G#m F#m
I'm losing my reason to live

D C# Bm          E  F#m 
     The essence of life

E F#m G              C#m      D   Bm
       But the system's got so much to give

E F#m G                D   F#m
       Or would you rather die?
I'm losing my pride and my joy My will to believe Why would you come back and destroy all We have achieved? [Chorus] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be impaired or even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? [Chorus] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?
