Ayreon - Beneath the Waves lyrics
1. Beneath The Waves
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] The water breaks the golden sun-rays
Silver dances on the wave
But a memory
I often dream about the old days
Playing hide and seek within the caves
But a memory
[Bob Catley:] I still feel the rising tides embrace me
Carrying me to a place unknown
But a memory
I remember all the love they gave me
In this fluid world we call our home
But a memory
[Anneke van Giersbergen, Floor Jansen:] Beneath the waves we were invincible
[Floor Jansen:] In a world without frontiers
[Anneke van Giersbergen:] World without walls
[Anneke van Giersbergen, Floor Jansen:] Beneath the waves we were inseparable
[Floor Jansen:] In a world without walls
[Steve Lee:] Faces of cerulean oceans
Mirroring stars and sable skies
But a memory
How I miss the sense of sweet emotions
Of a world so pure, devoid of cries
Blind a memory
[Jorn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were unbeatable
[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea
[Jorn Lande:] In a world without frontiers
[Floor Jansen:] World without walls
[Jorn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were untouchable
[Floor Jansen:] In the kingdom of the free
[Jorn Lande:] In a world without walls
[Steve Lee:] Beneath the waves we were invincible
[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea
[Steve Lee:] In a world without frontiers
[Floor Jansen:] World without walls
[Steve Lee:] Beneath the waves we were inseparable
[Floor Jansen:] In the kingdom of the free
[Steve Lee:] In a world without walls
2. Face The Facts
[Hansi Kursch, Anneke van Giersbergen, Floor Jansen:] Face the facts, there is no way back
Arise! It's time to act
Face the facts, our future is black
Our eyes were on the wrong track
Face the facts, there is no way back
Arise! It's time to act
Face the facts, our future is black
Our eyes were on the wrong track
Face the facts, there is no way back
Arise! It's time to act
Face the facts, our future is black
Our eyes were on the wrong track
3. But A Memory...
[Tom Englund:] Water breaks the golden sun-rays
Silver dances on the wave
But a memory
I often dream about the old days
Playing hide and seek within the caves
But a memory
4. World Without Walls
[Jorn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were unbeatable
[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea
[Jorn Lande:] In a world without frontiers
[Floor Jansen:] World without walls
[Jorn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were untouchable
[Floor Jansen:] In our kingdom of the free
[Jorn Lande:] In a world without walls
[Floor Jansen:] World without walls
[Jorn Lande:] Beneath the waves we were invincible
[Floor Jansen:] In the silence of the sea
[Jorn Lande:] In a world without frontiers
Beneath the waves we were inseparable
[Floor Jansen:] In our kingdom of the free
[Jorn Lande:] In a world without walls
