Ayreon-Age of Shadows Album: 01011001

Lyrics:

We never saw this coming
Pride comes before our fall
We never heeded the warning
Buried deep within us all

Chorus:
The age of shadows has begun
Giant machines blot out the sun
Frozen lands becoming known
The age of shadows has begun
The age of shadows has begun
I won't accept what we've become
We stand to lose more than we've won
The age of shadows has begun

Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to extermination
Made us rise from the depths below

(Chorus)

No more repression
No more supression
No more recession

No more possession
No more obsessions
No more depression

Time...
but a passage way
someday getting off the end
an end that never was

Time...
but a curve a space
Home... we are forever
Eternal prisoners in time

Oh, we are forever
caught in our cold inertia
Longing, hoping, waiting
For nothing

Forever we are
Forever we learn
Forever we live a lie
Forever slipping by

And forever we flee
Forever we'll be
Forever is but a dream
Forever is but a scream

And Forever we try
Forever we die
A spell alive for all

Possessed for life
Not enough...
Longing, hoping, waiting
Never enough

Zero, one, zero, one, one, zero, zero, one
(Forever we try)
(Forever we die)
(Forever...)

Longing, hoping, waiting
For the ...

No more repression
No more supression
No more recession

No more possession
No more obsession
No more depression

(Chorus)x2

We never heeded the warning
Buried deep within us all
