Ayreon - Tower Of Hope lyrics

From the wind-torn ramparts of the Tower of Hope we survey a thousand futures. Release your

dreams from this electric pinnacle. You must have hope...

[hippie]

we're climbing up the stairs

and hope is flowing through our veins

[futureman]

there's magic everywhere

we've been released of all our chains

[hippie]

we're taking in the view oceans of blue,

fields of green

[futureman]

I fear this can't be true

we're still inside this dream machine

[chorus]

[hippie] I only felt what I wanted to feel

[futureman] I only saw what I wanted to see

[hippie] I'm at the end of my rope

[both] lost in the tower of hope

[hippie]

I see a brand new age

where peace and harmony prevail

[futureman]

but we're still in this cage

destined to die here if we fail

[chorus & repeat second verse]

[hippie] I only felt what I wanted to feel

[futureman] I only saw what I wanted to see

[hippie] I only went where I wanted to go

[futureman] I only knew what I wanted to know

[both] and we became who we wanted to be

[hippie] I only felt what I wanted to feel

[futureman] I only saw what I wanted to see

[hippie] I'm at the end of my rope

[both] lost in the tower of hope
