Lyrics Evil Devolution (Live) - Ayreon

Watch now
Future man may be on to something
He's about to open the door to the grand speculation
Is life really life without feeling or sensation?
Can one find fulfillment in a world of digital perfection
When life passes by without thought or examination?
That, my friends, is the ultimate cosmic question

Are hopes dissolved for man's evolved
Into another state of being?
Have we progressed beyond the need of feeling?
A cyberbrain, the last in the chain
Of man-machine alliance
Have we become the victims of our science?

Evil devolution
Is this an illusion out here in space?
Human humiliation
This mutation of our human race

Is this the end, will we transcend
The need for human pleasures?
Will we abandon all our earthly treasures?
Will mankind yield on the battlefield
Of natural selection
To an inorganic digital perfection?

Evil devolution
Is this an illusion out here in space?
Human humiliation
This mutation of our human race

Evil devolution
Is this an illusion out here in space?
Human humiliation
This mutation of our human race
Evil devolution
Is this an illusion out here in space?

Future man has discerned on his own
What we forever have always known
That a life without wisdom and passion cannot be sustained
You, my friend, are a tribute to your species
You have earned a place forever
