paroles de chanson The Decision Tree (We're Alive) - Ayreon

(The Voice:) Ah, my friends! So light of foot
So swift! You′ve 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
(We're alive) I′ve followed princess
(We'll survive) I′ve followed kings!
(We will strike for our freedom) I will take their lead no more
(We're alive) I will not lie
(We'll survive) In shallow graves
(We′ll arrive in our Eden)
(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
(We′re alive) I've followed princess
(We′ll survive) I've followed kings!
(We will strike for our freedom) I will take their lead no more
(We're alive) I will not lie
(We′ll survive) In shallow graves
(We′ll arrive in our Eden) 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
