Ayreon - The Decision Tree (We’re Alive) lyrics
[Ayreon - The Decision Tree We’re Alive lyrics]
Forever of the Stars:
Ah, my friends! So light of foot so swift
You have come this far and now
Here beneath the
Ancient, omniscient boughs of
The Decision Tree
One of you must depart this world of flesh
Only seven may continue only you can decide
BARBARIAN: Let it be known I won't be
The one to die here
Honour and glory are heaped upon my name
Let it be clear I'm not
The one who cries here
What about the tall one
The one who's lost to shame hIGHLANDER:
I've followed princes
I've raised their bloody banners
I've killed and wounded on the side of right
I've reaped the harvest and
Scattered fields with ashes
I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate
ALL: We're alive, we'll survive
We will strike for our freedom
We're alive, we'll survive
We'll arrive in our Eden
HIGHLANDER: I've followed princes
I've followed kings
I will take their lead no more
I will not lie in shallow graves
BARBARIAN: Let it be known, by Thor
The god of lightning
I have been chosen to do battle at his side
Let it be clear I was
Born to go down fighting
What about the craven
The one who's lost his pride
HIGHLANDER:
Don't speak to me of honour, pride and glory
I've tasted blood, seen your type before
You talk of battle but all
You tell are stories
You'd see me buried in a shallow grave aLL:
We're alive, we'll survive
We will strike for our freedom
We're alive, we'll survive
We'll arrive in our Eden
HIGHLANDER: I've followed princes
I've followed kings
I will take their lead no more
I will not lie in shallow graves
I'm nobody's slave
ALL: We're alive, we'll survive
We will strike for our freedom
We're alive, we'll survive
We'll arrive in our Eden
Ah, my friends! So light of foot so swift
You have come this far and now
Here beneath the
Ancient, omniscient boughs of
The Decision Tree
One of you must depart this world of flesh
Only seven may continue only you can decide
BARBARIAN: Let it be known I won't be
The one to die here
Honour and glory are heaped upon my name
Let it be clear I'm not
