Age Of Shadows/We Are Forever

Lyrics

We never saw this coming
 Pride comes before our fall
 We never heeded the warning
 Buried deep within us all
 The age of shadows has begun!
 (Giant machines blot out our Sun!)
 Frozen minds becoming numb!
 (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 expand the nation (Our need for experimentation)
 Made us rise from the depths below
 The age of shadows has begun!
 (Giant machines blot out our Sun!)
 Frozen minds becoming numb!
 (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 aggression! (No more initiative!)
 No more suppression! (No more emotions!)
 No more recession!
 (No more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are!)
 No more possessions! (No more euphoria!)
 No more obsessions! (No more sensations!)
 No more depression!
 (No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are!)
 Time
 But a passageway
 The beginning of the end
 An end that never was
 Time
 But a curve in space
 We are Forever
 Eternal prisoners in time
 We are Forever
 Caught in our cold inertia
 (Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one...)
 Forever we yearn, forever we learn
 Forever we live a lie, forever is slipping by
 And forever we flee
 Forever we be, Forever is but a dream
 Forever is but a scream
 And forever we try, forever we die
 The spell of life wore off
 The zest for life not enough
 Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one
 (Never enough!)
 Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero)
 (Zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one)...)
 (Off (on) on (off) off (on) on (off)...)
 (No (yeah) yeah (yeah) no (no) yeah (yeah)...)
 Forever we try, forever we die
 Forever, forever
 Forever we try, forever we die
 Forever, forever
 Forever we try, forever we die, forever
 Forever we die
 (Longing, hoping, waiting for no one)
 No more aggression! (No more initiative!)
 No more suppression! (No more emotions!)
 No more recession!
 (No more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are!)
 No more possessions! (No more euphoria!)
 No more obsessions! (No more sensations!)
 No more depression!
 (No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are!)
 The age of shadows has begun! (The ages of shadows!)
 (Giant machines blot out our sun!)
 Frozen minds becoming numb! (Blot out our sun!)
 (The age of shadows has begun!)
 The age of Shadows has begun! (Frozen minds becoming numb!)
 (I won't accept what we've become!)
 We stand to lose more than we've won! (More than we've won!)
 (The age of Shadows has begun!)
 The age of shadows has begun! (The ages of shadows!)
 (Giant machines blot out our sun!)
 Frozen minds becoming numb! (Blot out our sun!)
 (The age of shadows has begun!)
 The age of Shadows has begun! (Frozen minds becoming numb!)
 (I won't accept what we've become!)
 We stand to lose more than we've won! (More than we've won!)
 (The age of Shadows has begun!)
 We never heeded the warning
 Buried deep within us all
