Ayreon - Liquid Eternity lyrics

[Jonas Renkse:] Once a world, endless and free, horizons unbroken

Now a world of bounded frontiers, the elders have spoken (our home)

[Daniel Gildenlöw:] Once a world, eternal and blue, floating, escaping

Now a world that's blinding my view, shadows shaping (alone)

[Magali Luyten:] Liquid eternity courses through our veins

Liquid eternity nourishes our brains

Liquid eternity, a world that does not live

Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield

[Bob Catley:] Once a world of fear and dismay of fleeing and hiding

Now a world that's peaceful and safe, so caring and providing

Our home

[Magali Luyten:] Liquid eternity courses through our veins

Liquid eternity nourishes our brains

Liquid eternity, a world that does not live

Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield

[Tom Englund:] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?

Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead?

Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?

Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?

[Jonas Renkse:] Our home

[Jorn Lande:] I'm losing my reason to live, the essence of life

[Floor Jansen:] But the system's got so much to give or would you rather die?

[Jorn Lande:] I'm losing my pride and my joy, my will to believe

[Floor Jansen:] Why would you come back and destroy all we have achieved?

[Magali Luyten:] Liquid eternity courses through our veins

Liquid eternity nourishes our brains

Liquid eternity, a world that does not live

Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield

[Tom Englund:] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?

Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead?

Would you prefer to live the life we've loved to play?

Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?

[Magali Luyten:] Liquid eternity courses through our veins

Liquid eternity nourishes our brains

Liquid eternity, a world that does not live

Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield

[Tom Englund:] Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?

Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead?

Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?

Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?

[Jonas Renkse:] Our home
