Lyrics:
[Verse 1a]
NEGATIVE:
Observe the destruction of the Final World War
The cities we know reduced to rubble
(Is this what we deserve?)
POSITIVE:
Is there a solution that reverse our fall
We can’t be confined to this bubble
(Nor can we give up)
[Verse 1b]
THE ROGUE:
Dear Humans, won’t you hear me out?
For I think I have the solution
We send a message to outer space - and find a world to live on
You cannot thrive with the status quo..
NEGATIVE:
(yeah, well, I don’t know..)
[Chorus]
NEGATIVE:
What if we get no answer?
What if we lose the fight?
What if the Earth we know is
The only planet supporting life?
And why should we even trust you
When we once fought your kind?
I won’t believe your lies!
[Verse 2a]
THE ROGUE:
I know you must hate me and that I understand
But know this: I was the one was who saved you
NEGATIVE:
(But how did you survive?)
THE ROGUE:
I’ve done the equations, the factors all worked out
I’ve noticed the odds are in our favour
(And it’s yours to decide)
[Verse 2b]
POSITIVE:
I feel it’s our chance to take
For what else have we got to lose?
We can’t be losing our faith - Or else resign to our fate
I believe it’s the way to go!
NEGATIVE:
(yeah, well, I don’t know..)
[Chorus]
((And why should we even trust them
When we once fought their kind?
I won’t believe their lies!))
[Bridge]
POSITIVE:
Oh, quell your fear and doubt
Or we’ll never make it out
(We have no other moves to play)
NEGATIVE:
OK, I’ll play along
But I hope that I’m wrong
(Soon we’ll be crying out in pain)
THE ROGUE:
You’ll be free from this mess
So craft an SOS!
(Somehow I know you’ll win this game)
NEGATIVE:
I’m skeptical of this
I’m not ready to forgive
(I believe this will be in vain)
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
[Chorus (POSITIVE variant)]
POSITIVE:
And what if we get an answer?
What if it’s worth the fight?
What if the Universe is teeming
With a million kinds of life?
And how can you be so ungrateful
When this R.O.G.U.E. helped our kind?
I say there’s no harm in trying!
