Intro: E5 F5 F#5

E5           A5          E5
 Once a world, endless and free
  E5     E5
Horizons unbroken
E5            A5          E5
 Now a world of bounded frontiers
    E5        E5       E5    A5 B5 E5
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:]
E5               A5              B5
 Liquid eternity courses through our veins
E5               A5        B5
 Liquid eternity nourishes our brains
E5                A5                B5
 Liquid eternity, a world that does not live
E5                A5               B5
 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]

C5                          Ab5           F5
 Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?
C5                     Ab5             F5
 Would you prefer to be impaired or even dead?
C5                         Ab5                    F5
 Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?
C5                       Ab5         Ab5 G5 F5
 Would you prefer to live a mortal life     instead?

B5      A5 Ab5 F#5
I'm losing my reason to live
D5 C#5 B5          E5  F#5 
     The essence of life
E5 F#5 G5              C#5      D5   B5
       But the system's got so much to give
E5 F#5 G5                D5   F#5
       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?
