Beneath the Waves Songtext
von Ayreon

The water breaks the golden sunrays
Silver dances on the waves
But a memory
I often dream about the old days
Playing hide and seek within the caves
But a memory

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

Beneath the waves we were invincible
In a world without frontiers
(World without walls)
Beneath the waves we were inseparable
In a world without walls


Faces of cerulean oceans
Mirroring stars and sable skies
But a memory
How I miss the scent of sweet emotions
Of a world so pure, devoid of cries
But a memory

Beneath the waves we were unbeatable
(In the silence of the sea)
In a world without frontiers
(World without walls)
Beneath the waves we were untouchable
(In a kingdom of the free)
In a world without walls

Beneath the waves we were invincible
In the silence of the sea
In a world without frontiers
World without walls
Beneath the waves we were inseparable
In a kingdom of the free
In a world without walls


Face the facts: there is no way back!
Arise! It′s time to act!
Face the facts: our future is black!
Arise– we're 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!
Arise– we're 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!
Arise– we′re on the wrong track!

Water breaks golden sunrays
Silver dances on the waves
But a memory
I often dream about the old days
Playing hide and seek within the caves
But a memory

Beneath the waves we were unbeatable!
In the silence of the sea!
In a world without frontiers!
World without walls!
Beneath the waves we were untouchable!
In a kingdom of the free!
In a world without walls!
World without walls!

Beneath the waves we were invincible!
In the silence of the sea!
In a world without frontiers!
Beneath the waves we were inseparable!
In our kingdom of the free!
In a world without walls!
