[Verse 1]
We put our trust
In the future and in its technology
Radioactive waste and
Other problems yet unsolved by man

What if our future selves
Are refugees on the run?
Scavenging for food (and) chasing shelter
To hide from the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Control your fate
Before it's too late

[Chorus]
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind

[Verse 2]
Coming generations
They'll have enough of their own problems
It's naive to think they'll also solve
The ones selfishly handed down by us
Why can't we stop ourselves
From polluting the water on which we depend?
(And) Wallace Hartley will play with his men
While we sink towards our bitter end

[Pre-Chorus]
"Nearer, My God, to Thee"
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes, I hear it

[Chorus]
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind
Two hundred years of abuse
Too late for truce
And whoever wins, we will lose

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
"Nearer, My God, to Thee"
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes, we all hear it
[Bridge]
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it

[Chorus]
The war of oceans rages on
But not for long
And once we're gone
The waters won't miss our kind
Two hundred years of abuse
Too late for truce
And whoever wins, we will lose

[Outro]
We will lose
The war of oceans
And once we're gone
From this world
Once we're gone
The water's will not miss our kind
