The Fifth Extinction
Ayreon

[Glimmer Of Hope]


[Anneke van Giersbergen:] Through their eyes we will see

[Bob Catley:] With their hands we will create

[Anneke van Giersbergen:] In their world we will be free

[Bob Catley:] With our minds we'll shape their fate


[Steve Lee:]

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


[Anneke van Giersbergen:] Through their pain we'll learn to live

[Bob Catley:] Remember all life has to give


[Jorn Lande:]

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!


[World Of Tomorrow Dreams]


[Tom Englund:]

I see a planet, perfect for our needs

Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds

[Steve Lee:]

There must be life, first remove any trace of doubt!

They may all die, don't you think we should check it out?

[Daniel Gildenlow:]

We have no choice, we waited far too long

This is our planet, this is where they belong

[Jorn Lande:]

We may regret this, is this the way it's supposed to be?

A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty!


[Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:]

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our future lies

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our hopes will rise


[Tom Englund:]

I see mainly reptiles, a lower form of intelligence

Mere brainless creatures with no demonstrable sentience

[Jorn Lande:]

What makes us superior, we did not do so great ourselves!

A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells


[Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:]

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our future lies

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our hopes will rise


[Derek Sherinian: Synth solo]


[Collision Course]


[From The Ashes]


[Tom Englund:] And as the smoke slowly rises

[Jonas Renkse:] Our planet's bare and cold

[Tom Englund:] But as the black sky brightens

[Jonas Renkse:] A wondrous world unfolds


[Daniel Gildenlow:] We're at the dawn of a new age

[Bob Catley:] As we hear the final cries

[Daniel Gildenlow:] Ready to enter the next stage

[Bob Catley:] From the ashes we will rise


[Steve Lee:] And as the smoke slowly rises

[Hansi Kursch:] Our planet's bare and cold

[Steve Lee:] But as the black sky brightens

[Hansi Kursch:] A wondrous world unfolds


[Floor Jansen:] We're at the dawn of a new age

[Jorn Lande:] As we hear the final cries

[Floor Jansen:] Ready to enter the next stage

[Jorn Lande:] From the ashes we will rise!


[Glimmer Of Hope Reprise]


[Daniel Gildenlow:]

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
