Ayreon - The Fifth Extinction lyrics

Through their eyes we will see

Now the die is cast, the first step taken
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken
Forming right before our eyes we're alive

Now the die is cast, the first step taken
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken
Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes
We're alive! So alive!

Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds

First remove any trace of doubt!
They may all die don't you think
We should check it out?

This is our planet, this is where they belong

Is this the way it's supposed to be?
A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty!

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams
Our future lies
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams
Our hopes will rise

A lower form of intelligence
Mere brainless creatures with
No demonstrable sentience

A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams
Our future lies
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams
Our hopes will rise

Instrumental

Now the die is cast, the first step taken
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken
Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes
We are alive
