Age Of Shadows / We Are Forever
Ayreon

[Tom Englund:]

We never saw this coming

Pride comes before a fall

We never heeded the warnings

Buried deep within us all


[Chorus:]

[Steve Lee:] The age of shadows has begun

[Daniel Gindelow:] Giant machines blot out the sun

[Steve Lee:] Frozen minds becoming numb

[Daniel Gindelow:] The age of shadows has begun

[Steve Lee:] The age of Shadows has begun

[Daniel Gindelow:] I won't accept what we've become

[Steve Lee:] We stand to lose more than we've won

[Daniel Gindelow:] The age of Shadows has begun


[Tom Englund:]

Our quenchless thirst for knowledge

Our urge to change and grow

Our need to expand the nation

Made us rise from the depths below


[Chorus]


[Hansi Kursch:] No more aggression

[Floor Jansen:] No more initiative

[Hansi Kursch:] No more suppression

[Floor Jansen:] No more emotions

[Hansi Kursch:] No more resection

[Floor Jansen:] No more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are

[Hansi Kursch:] No more possessions

[Floor Jansen:] No more suspicious

[Hansi Kursch:] No more obsessions

[Floor Jansen:] No more sensations

[Hansi Kursch:] No more depression

[Floor Jansen:] No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are


[Jonas Renkse:]

Time (time, time) but a passageway (a passageway, a passageway)

The beginning of the end (of the end)

An end that never was (was, was, was)

Time (time, time) but a curve in space (curve in space, curve in)


We are forever (we are forever, we are forever) eternal prisoners in time (in time, in time)

We are forever (we are forever) caught in our cold inertia


Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one...


[Anekke van Giersberg:]

Forever we yearn, forever we learn

Forever we live a lie, forever sleeping by and

Forever we flee (forever we flee), forever we will be,

Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and

Forever we try, forever we die,


The spell of love wore off

The zest for life not enough


Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one


Never enough


Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero)

zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one)

zero (one) one (zero) one (one) zero (zero)

zero (one) one (one) zero (zero) zero (zero)


Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero)

zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one)

zero (one) one (zero) one (one) zero (zero)

zero (one) one (one) zero (zero) zero (zero)

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one


Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever

Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever

Forever we tie, forever we die, forever, forever


[Jonas Renkse:] Longing... hoping... waiting... for no one...

No more aggression

(No more initiative)

No more suppression

(no more emotions)

No more resection

(no more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are)

No more possessions

(No more suspicious)

No more obsessions

(No more sensations)

No more depression

(no more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are


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)


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)


We never heeded the warning

Buried deep within us all
