Liquid Eternity Songtext
von Ayreon

Once a world endless and free
Horizons unbroken
Now a world of bounded frontiers
The elders have spoken... (Our home)

Once a world eternal and blue
Floating, escaping
Now a world that′s blinding my view
Shadows shaping (alone)

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

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!


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!

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?
(Alone...)

I'm losing my reason to live, the essence of life!
But the system's got so much to give! Or would you rather die?
I′m losing my pride and my joy, my will to believe!
Why would you come back and destroy all we have achieved?

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!

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?

Liquid eternity courses through our veins!
Liquid eternity nourishes our brains!


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?
(Alone...)
