Ayreon The Fifth Extinction
Glimmer Of Hope
Anneke van Giersbergen: Through their eyes we will see
Bob Catley: With their hands we will create
Anneke van Giersbergen: In their world we will be free
Bob Catley: With our minds we'll shape their fate
Steve Lee:
Now the die is cast, the first step taken
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken
Forming right before our eyes
We're alive
Anneke van Giersbergen: Through their pain we'll learn to live
Bob Catley: Remember all life has to give
Jorn Lande:
Now the die is cast, the first step taken
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken
Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes
We're alive! So alive!
World Of Tomorrow Dreams
Tom Englund:
I see a planet, perfect for our needs
Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds
Steve Lee:
There must be life, first remove any trace of doubt!
They may all die, don't you think we should check it out?
Daniel Gildenlow:
We have no choice, we waited far too long
This is our planet, this is where they belong
Jorn Lande:
We may regret this, is this the way it's supposed to be?
A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty!
Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our future lies
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our hopes will rise
Tom Englund:
I see mainly reptiles, a lower form of intelligence
Mere brainless creatures with no demonstrable sentience
Jorn Lande:
What makes us superior, we did not do so great ourselves!
A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells
Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch:
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our future lies
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams, our hopes will rise
Derek Sherinian: Synth solo
Collision Course
From The Ashes
Tom Englund: And as the smoke slowly rises
Jonas Renkse: Our planet's bare and cold
Tom Englund: But as the black sky brightens
Jonas Renkse: A wondrous world unfolds
Daniel Gildenlow: We're at the dawn of a new age
Bob Catley: As we hear the final cries
Daniel Gildenlow: Ready to enter the next stage
Bob Catley: From the ashes we will rise
Steve Lee: And as the smoke slowly rises
Hansi Kursch:Our planet's bare and cold
Steve Lee: But as the black sky brightens
Hansi Kursch: A wondrous world unfolds
Floor Jansen: We're at the dawn of a new age
Jorn Lande: As we hear the final cries
Floor Jansen: Ready to enter the next stage
Jorn Lande: From the ashes we will rise!
Glimmer Of Hope Reprise
Daniel Gildenlow:
Now the die is cast, the first step taken
A glimmer of hope lights up our lives
Visions of the past, dreams forsaken
Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes
We are alive
