In my dream I see
Iuventa! Iuventa!
Sweeping o'er the sea
Iuventa, my love
Heading out for more
Iuventa! Iuventa!
10 leagues from Eden's shore
Iuventa, my love
And there are waves to make
And there are boots to quake
And there are chains to break
Iuventa, my love
Down the RIB descends
Iuventa! Iuventa!
And life is lived again
Iuventa, my love
Wе're not the tongues wе speak
Iuventa! Iuventa!
We're not the gods we seek
Iuventa, my love
We're not the clothes we bear
We're not the scars we bear
We are the song we share
Iuventa, my love
In my dream I see
Iuventa! Iuventa!
And in my dream she's free
Iuventa, my love
Iuventa! Iuventa!
Sweeping o'er the sea
Iuventa, my love
Heading out for more
Iuventa! Iuventa!
10 leagues from Eden's shore
Iuventa, my love
And there are waves to make
And there are boots to quake
And there are chains to break
Iuventa, my love
Down the RIB descends
Iuventa! Iuventa!
And life is lived again
Iuventa, my love
Wе're not the tongues wе speak
Iuventa! Iuventa!
We're not the gods we seek
Iuventa, my love
We're not the clothes we bear
We're not the scars we bear
We are the song we share
Iuventa, my love
In my dream I see
Iuventa! Iuventa!
And in my dream she's free
Iuventa, my love

t ends with one last unaccompanied number, Iuventa, which is about the ship belonging to [Jugend Rettet, a Berlin non-governmental organisation dedicated to rescuing drowning people in the Mediterranean. To date she’s saved some 14,000 but was seized in 2017, the crew now awaiting trial accused of colluding with people smugglers. It’s a quietly rousing anthemic reminder that we are one world and one planet, echoing the refrain from the album opener as they declare “We’re not the clothes we wear/We’re not the scars we bear/We are the song we share”.
