Ayreon - Liquid Eternity lyrics

rate me

Once a world, endless and free

Horizons unbroken

Now a world of bounded frontiers

The elders have spoken (our home)

Once a world, eternal and blue

Floating, escaping

Now a world that's blinding my view

Shadows shaping (our home)

[Chorus:]

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

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]

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)

I'm losing my reason to live

The essence of life

But the system's got so much to give

Or would you rather die...

I'm losing my pride and my joy

My will to believe

Why would you come back and destroy

What we have achieved

[Chorus]

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]

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 (our home)
