LYRICS:
[Tom Englund:]
We have to teach them all that we know
Their evolution moves far too slow
Expand their minds and reject compliance
Upgrade their knowledge, upload our science
[Steve Lee:]
This revolution will lead to their demise,
We should not make the same mistake twice
We're kept alive by artificial means
We've lost our souls to a world of machines
[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [8X]
[Tom Englund:]
We need to teach them to fight disease
They seem so helpless and need our expertise
I see them dying all across the globe
Their greatest foe is but a small microbe
[Steve Lee:]
The sudden change leads to overpopulation
Shifting the balance, destructive habitation
Killing a live biological invasion
Consuming it by ruthless exploitation
[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the fire in their eyes?
[Bob Catley:] Can you hear the anguish in their cries?
[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the beauty in their eyes?
[Bob Catley:] Can you sense the love within their hearts?
[Jorn Lande:] I can taste the freedom we once had
[Bob Catley:] I can touch their pain when they feel sad
[Jorn Lande:] I can smell the fragrance of the air
[Bob Catley:] I remember times we used to share
[Hansi Kursch:]
Don't want to live in a world that's dying
I want to die in a world that's living! [2X]
[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [8X]
(Before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. - JFK)
(Humankind has acquired a collective power and ability to dramatically alter the environment of the entire planet - Gore)
(This will not be another Vietnam - Bush)
(The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - Roosevelt)
(Our task is not only to win the battle, but to win the war - Churchill))
[Bob Catley:] We gave them feelings - what did they sense?
[Steve Lee:] Shout out the world and put up a fence!
[Bob Catley:] We gave them science - what did they do?
[Steve Lee:] They built a bomb and they used it too.
[Bob Catley:] We gave them reason - what did they learn?
[Steve Lee:] Warmed up the planet and made it burn!
[Bob Catley:] We gave them art - what did they make?
[Steve Lee:] Nuclear weapons for their own sake!
[Bob Catley:] We gave them insight - what did they see?
[Steve Lee:] Degrade the noble, enslave the free!
[Bob Catley:] We gave them wisdom - what did they teach?
[Steve Lee:] Destroying all that's within their reach!
[Bob Catley:] We gave them language - what did they say?
[Steve Lee:] They put the planet in disarray!
[Bob Catley, Steve Lee:] We gave them dreams - and what did they dream?
[Hansi Kursch:]
Don't want to live in a world that's dying.
I want to die in a world that's living!
[Jorn Lande:] Listen to the warning [4X]
[Jonas Renkse:]
A chain on guilt around our neck
A planet straying in darkness
Can we save the lives we wrecked?
I say we should find a way
I say stop this decay
[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the fire in their eyes?
[Bob Catley:] Can you hear the anguish in their cries?
[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the beauty in their art?
[Bob Catley:] Can you sense the love within their hearts?
[Jorn Lande:] I can taste the freedom we once had (freedom, freedom)
[Bob Catley:] I can touch their pain (oh, can you feel the fire?)
[Jorn Lande:] I can smell the fragrance of the air.
[Bob Catley:] I relive the times we used to share (yeah).
[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the fire in their eyes? (Oh!)
[Bob Catley:] Can you hear the anguish in their cries? (Can you feel the fire?)
[Jorn Lande:] Can you see the beauty in their art?
[Bob Catley:] Can you sense the love within their hearts? (Can you feel the beauty?)
[Hansi Kursch:] Don't want to live in a world that's dying!
[Jorn Lande:] Oh yeah, so beautiful!
[Hansi Kursch:] I want to die in a world that's living! (Yeah, yeah!)

The first Ayreon song that I ever heard. I never look into Ayreon more when I listened to it, but that was years ago. Now, in 2017, after I've listened to The Source, after a recommendation from a friend, I loved it a lot! Then, I started to listen to 01011001 from the beginning and man what a good album so far. This fill my prog metal taste.

@@insertanynameyouwant5311 hahahahhhahahahaa ,rofl, pal you really made me laugh, but Imma try to give a civilized answerto your stupid questioning, I dont remember the comment either but, but leeme give you a lesson. Yes I can eat raw meat, we use to do that, cuz in our contry we produce meat, and we save some premium food for us that can be eaten without being cooked, this only applies to cow, cuz pig and chicken decompose faster, and creates bacteria quicker, also raw pig and chiken is just plain disgusting, Ive tried em, unlike like fish, and other "white meat" that are bearable raw, anyway, we are humans, our species is different than other animals, lions have extreme force, wolves have extreme force plus pack organization, that is their main trait, ofc we humans have Tools as main traits, we gave up force, claws, fur and fangs to develop our brain to construct better tools, to, yes, hunt wild animals, but still, a well applied hit into a cow´s head can kill it, the point is, our claws became bows and spears, why would I deny millenia of evolution and development of tools to kill an animal your comment here is really moronic and imbecile, still, there are birds that eat small insects an rodents, because their beakonly llows em to do that, they are still predatory animals, no matter the size of their prey, and yes, even some birds eat meat, then again, the tools we dont use dissapear, just like fur in all our body, just like tails, its been proven some of our predecesors had tails, but we started walking on 2 extremities so we had no use for tails anymore, we used to have, there is still people that have a remanent extra tendon in ther arms that gave us strenght to climb, is now almost gone from the species cuz it had no use, but ohh what do I see, everyone has those 6 pairs of teeth designed and used to rip meat, they are still there, because guess what!!!, any non retarded specimen from the human race eats MEAT, and those who cant eat meat for medical reasons were supposed to die because their organism will have died if it wasnt for the tools to create the food they need, human race is too dumb and likes to perpetuate aberrations, welp, here you have em, Vegans, vegetarian, sameshit.... now, I must assume that you are one of them, that is once again, proving how dumb and stupid you people are, but yes, we like meat with salads, so that is the use of the remaining teeth, and that is why we are called "omnivors"

@@lightdrgn20, sure🙂 these are the higher frequency based beings. Most people can't see or hear them. Our frequency is to low, they can only meet us halfway. We must build up ours. We do this alot in our sleep. We can also do meditation and grounding practices to achieve a higher frequency. We also apply some changes in our daily lives to hold a higher state of frequency. For instance, only drink filterd water, stop everything toxic like smoking, give the body the right activity, and cleanse the body... and much more..
