All That Was

[Counselor and biologist]
I remember when I first saw your face
I remember the day, the hour, the place
Now it’s over, I still feel our first embrace
It’s all over, it’s time to say goodbye to... All that was
I remember when you made me feel alive
I remember the passion in our eyes
Now it’s over, I won’t be there when you die
It’s all over, it’s time to say goodbye to... All that was
[Historian]: I know it’s hard, but we have to carry on
[Diplomat]: Convince yourself that we have no other choice
[Historian]: A cold new start, the life we knew is gone
[Diplomat and historian]: Our world, our lives have been destroyed
[Counselor and biologist]
I remember when the world was in our hands
I remember the future we had planned
Now it’s over, will you ever understand?
It’s all over, it’s time to say goodbye to... All that was
