Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time
We lived our lives in our paradise
As gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines we'd stay behind
Though balance is something fragile
While we thought we were gaining
We would turn back the tide
It still slips away
Our time has run out
Our future has died
There's no more escape
Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by
We are forsaken
We're the last of our kind
The sacrifice was much too high
Our greed just made us all go blind
We tried to hide what we feared inside
Today is the end of tomorrow
As the sea started rising
The land that we'd conquered
Just washed away
Although we all have tried
To turn back the tide
It was all in vain
Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by
We are forsaken
Only ruins stay behind
Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time
Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Now the day has come
The day has come
The day has come
