Текст песни Age of Shadows (Live) - Ayreon

We never saw this coming
Pride comes before a fall
We never heeded the warnings
Buried deep within us all
The Age of Shadows has begun
Giant machines blot out our sun
Frozen minds becoming numb
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows has begun
I won't accept what we've become
We stand to lose more than we've won
The Age of Shadows has begun
Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to expand the nation
Made us rise from the depths below
The Age of Shadows has begun
Giant machines blot out our sun
Frozen minds becoming numb
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows has begun
I won't accept what we've become
We stand to lose more than we've won
The Age of Shadows has begun
No more aggression
No more initiative
No more suppression
No more emotions
No more recession
No more of all the feelings we shared that made us who we really are
No more possessions
No more euphoria
No more obsessions
No more sensations
No more depressions
No more of all the passions that
Shaped our hearts and made us who we are
We Are Forever
Time, but a passageway
The beginning of the end
An end that never was
Time, but a curve in space
We are forever
Eternal prisoners in time
We are forever
Caught in our cold inertia
Longing... hoping... waiting... for no one...
Forever we yearn, forever we learn
Forever we live a lie, forever slipping by and
Forever we flee, forever we will be
Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and
Forever we try, forever we die
The spell of love wore off
The zest for life not enough
Longing... hoping... waiting... for no one...
(Never enough)

Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever
Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever
Forever we tie, forever we die, forever, forever
Longing... hoping... waiting... for no one...
No more aggression

The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows!
Giant machines blot out our sun
Frozen minds becoming numb
Blot out our sun! Yeah yeah!
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows has begun
Frozen minds becoming numb
I won't accept what we've become
We stand to lose more than we've won
More than we've won
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows!
Giant machines blot out our sun
Frozen minds becoming numb
Giant machines blot out the sun
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows has begun
The Age of Shadows! Yeah!
I won't accept what we've become
We stand to lose more than we've won
The Age of Shadows has begun
We never heeded the warning
Buried deep within us all
