We never saw this coming
Pride comes before a fall
We never heeded the warnings
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
Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to expand the nation
Made us rise from the depths below
No more aggression/No more initiative
No more suppression/No more emotions
No more recession/No more of all the feelings we shared that made us who we really are
No more possessions/No more euphoria
No more obsessions/No more sensations
No more depressions/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 slipping by and
Forever we flee, forever we will be
Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and
Forever we try, forever we die
The spell of love wore off
The zest for life is not enough
Longing...hoping...waiting...for no one...
(Never enough)
