Liquid Eternity
Ayreon
01011001 (2008)

[Jonas P Renkse:]
Once a world, endless and free, horizons unbroken
Now a world of bounded frontiers, the elders have spoken
Our home

[Daniel Gildenlöw:]
Once a world, eternal and blue, floating, escaping
Now a world that's blinding my view, shadows, shaping
Alone...

[Magali Luyten:]
Liquid eternity crosses through our veins
Liquid eternity nourishes our brains
Liquid eternity, a world that does not live
Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield

[Bob Catley:]
Once a world of fear and dismay
Of fleeing and hiding
Now a world that's peaceful and safe
So caring and providing, our home...


[Tom Englund:]
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had
Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead
Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead (our home)

[Jorn Lande:]
I'm losing my reason to live, the essence of life
[Floor Jansen:]
But the system's got so much to give, or would you rather die?
[Jorn Lande:]
I'm losing my pride and my joy, my will to believe
[Floor Jansen:]
Why would you come back and destroy, what we have achieved?
