Ayreon - The Fifth Extinction lyrics
rate meA] Glimmer of Hope <br />Trough their eyes we will see <br />with their hands we will create <br />in their world we will be free <br />with our minds we'll shape their fate <br /> <br />now the die is cast, the first step taken <br />a glimmer of hope lights up our lives <br />visions of the past, dreams forsaken <br />forming right before our eyes <br />we're alive <br /> <br />through their pain we'll learn to live <br />remember all life has to give <br /> <br />now the die is cast, the first step taken <br />a glimmer of hope lights up our lives <br />visions of the past, dreams forsaken <br />re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes <br />we're alive! So alive! <br /> <br />B] World of Tomorrow Dreams <br />I see a planet, perfect for our needs <br />behold our target, a world to plant our seeds <br />There must be life <br />first remove any trace of doubt! <br />they may all die <br />Don't you think we should check it out? <br />We have no choice, we waited far too long <br />this is our planet, this is where they belong. <br />We may regret this, <br />is this the way it's supposed to be? <br />A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty! <br /> <br />In the world of Tomorrow Dreams <br />Our future lies <br />In the World of Tomorrow Dreams <br />Our hopes will rise <br /> <br />I see mainly reptiles <br />A lower form or intelligence <br />mere brainless creatures <br />with no demonstrable sentience <br />What makes us superior <br />We did not do so great ourselves! <br />A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells <br /> <br />C] Collision Course <br /> <br />D] From the Ashes <br />And as the smoke slowly rises <br />our planet's bare and cold <br />but as the black sky brightens <br />a wondrous world unfolds <br /> <br />We're at the dawn of a new age <br />as we hear the final cries <br />ready to enter the next stage <br />from the ashes we will rise! <br /> <br />And as the smoke slowly rise <br />our planet's bare and cold <br />but as the black sky brightens <br />a wondrous world unfolds <br /> <br />We're at the dawn of a new age <br />as we hear the final cries <br />ready to enter the next stage <br />from the ashes we will rise! <br /> <br />E] Glimmer of Hope Reprise <br />Now the die is cast, the first step taken <br />a glimmer of hope lights up our lives <br />visions of the past, dreams forsaken <br />re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes <br />We are...alive<br /><br />
