Age of Shadows

We never saw this coming

Pride comes before our fall

We never heeded the warning

Buried deep within us all

Chorus:

The age of shadows has begun

Giant machines blot out the sun

Frozen lands becoming known

The age of shadows has begun

The age of shadows has begun

I won't accept what we've become

We stand to lose more than we've won

The age of shadows has begun

Our quenchless thirst for knowledge

Our urge to change and grow

Our need to extermination

Made us rise from the depths below

The age of shadows has begun

Giant machines blot out the sun

Frozen lands becoming known

The age of shadows has begun

The age of shadows has begun

I won't accept what we've become

We stand to lose more than we've won

The age of shadows has begun

No more repression

No more supression

No more recession

No more possession

No more obsessions

No more depression

Time...

but a passage way

someday getting off the end

an end that never was

Time...

but a curve a space

Home... we are forever

Eternal prisoners in time

Oh, we are forever

caught in our cold inertia

Longing, hoping, waiting

For nothing

Forever we are

Forever we learn

Forever we live a lie

Forever slipping by

And forever we flee

Forever we'll be

Forever is but a dream

Forever is but a scream

And Forever we try

Forever we die

A spell alive for all

Possessed for life

Not enough...

Longing, hoping, waiting

Never enough

Zero, one, zero, one, one, zero, zero, one

(Forever we try)

(Forever we die)

(Forever...)

Longing, hoping, waiting

For the ...

No more repression

No more supression

No more recession

No more possession

No more obsession

No more depression.

We never heeded the warning

Buried deep within us all
