Ayreon - The Fifth Extinction Lyrics

(a) Glimmer of Hope

Through their eyes we will see
With their hands we will create
In their world we will be free
With our minds we'll shape their fate

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

Through their pain we'll learn to live
Remember all life has to give

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!

(b) World of Tommorrow Dreams

I see a planet, perfect for our needs
Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds
Oh, there must be life, first remove any trace of doubt
They may all die, don't you think we should check it out

We have no choice, we waited for too long
This is our planet, this is where they belong

We may regret this, is this the way it's supposed to be
A cold execution, a mindless end, a cruelty

In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our future lives
In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our hopes will rise
In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our future lives
In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our hopes will rise

I see mainly reptiles, a lower form of intelligence
Mere brainless creatures, with no demonstrable sentience

What makes us superior, we did not do so great ourselves
A dying race, inprisoned in restricted shells, oh!

In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our future lives
In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our hopes will rise
In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our future lives
In the world of tomorrow, dreams, our hopes will rise

(c) Collision Course

(keyboard solo)

(d) From the Ashes

And as the smoke slowly rises, our planet's barren and cold
But as the black sky brightens, a wondrous world unfolds
We're at the dawn of a new age, as we hear the final cries
We're ready to enter the next stage, from the ashes we will rise!
(x2)

(e) Glimmer of Hope (reprise)

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
