The Fifth Extinction Lyrics |
|
Ayreon |
|
A] Glimmer of Hope |
|
Trough their eyes we will see |
|
with their hands we will create |
|
in their world we will be free |
|
with our minds we'll shape their fate |
|
now the die is cast, the first step taken |
|
a glimmer of hope lights up our lives |
|
visions of the past, dreams forsaken |
|
forming right before our eyes |
|
we're alive |
|
through their pain we'll learn to live |
|
remember all life has to give |
|
now the die is cast, the first step taken |
|
a glimmer of hope lights up our lives |
|
visions of the past, dreams forsaken |
|
re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes |
|
we're alive! |
|
So alive! |
|
B] World of Tomorrow Dreams |
|
I see a planet, perfect for our needs |
|
behold our target, a world to plant our seeds |
|
There must be life |
|
first remove any trace of doubt! |
|
they may all die |
|
Don't you think we should check it out? |
|
We have no choice, we waited far too long |
|
this is our planet, this is where they belong. |
|
We may regret this, |
|
is this the way it's supposed to be? |
|
A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty! |
|
In the world of Tomorrow Dreams |
|
Our future lies |
|
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams |
|
Our hopes will rise |
|
I see mainly reptiles |
|
A lower form or intelligence |
|
mere brainless creatures |
|
with no demonstrable sentience |
|
What makes us superior |
|
We did not do so great ourselves! |
|
A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells |
|
C] Collision Course |
|
D] From the Ashes |
|
And as the smoke slowly rises |
|
our planet's bare and cold |
|
but as the black sky brightens |
|
a wondrous world unfolds |
|
We're at the dawn of a new age |
|
as we hear the final cries |
|
ready to enter the next stage |
|
from the ashes we will rise! |
|
And as the smoke slowly rise |
|
our planet's bare and cold |
|
but as the black sky brightens |
|
a wondrous world unfolds |
|
We're at the dawn of a new age |
|
as we hear the final cries |
|
ready to enter the next stage |
|
from the ashes we will rise! |
|
E] Glimmer of Hope Reprise |
|
Now the die is cast, the first step taken |
|
a glimmer of hope lights up our lives |
|
visions of the past, dreams forsaken |
|
re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes |
|
We are...alive |
