Ayreon(¿¡À̸®¿Â)Liquid Eternity
[Jonas Renkse:]
Once a world. endless and free. horizons unbroken
Now a world of bounded frontiers. the elders have spoken
(our home)
[Daniel Gindelow:]
Once a world. eternal and blue. floating. escaping
Now a world that`s blinding my view. shadows shaping
(alone)
[Chorus:]
[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...
[Chorus]
[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?
[Jonas Renkse:] 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 all we have achieved?
[Chorus]
[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 loved to play?
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?
[Chorus]
[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?
