Lyrics Condemned To Live - Ayreon

I can't believe it really happened, it's all slowly sinking in
I left behind a hopeless race to fight a war they cannot win
My petty life, it seems so trivial, a whole world is about to die
If all those billions fade away, then who am I... to stay alive
Condemned to live, doomed to leave my world to die
The guilt weighs heavy on my mind
Trapped in this void, deprived of dignity and joy
Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed
We're about to start our journey, so focus on what lies ahead
Liquid Eternity
We have the chance to save our future, we're alive, the past is dead
The Source will set us free
We need to find a way to thrive there, preservation of our race
Liquid Eternity
An alteration, gene mutation, transformation of our strain
The Source will set us free
Condemned to live, doomed to leave our world to die
The guilt weighs heavy on our mind
Trapped in this void, deprived of dignity and joy
Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed
Condemned to live, doomed to leave our world to die
A fate we could not avoid
The guilt weighs heavy on our minds
But we had no other choice
Trapped in this void, deprived of joy
Now we need to think of ourselves
Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed
We need to break out of this hell!
