condemned to live

Singer:ayreon

i can't believe it really happened

it's all slowly sinking in

i left behind a hopeless race to fight a war they cannot win

my petty life

it seems so trivial

a whole world is about to die

if all those billions fade away

then who am i. to stay alive

condemned to live

doomed to leave my world to die

the guilt weighs heavy on my mind

trapped in this void

deprived of dignity and joy

their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

we're about to start our journey

so focus on what lies ahead

liquid eternity

we have the chance to save our future

we're alive

the past is dead

the source will set us free

we need to find a way to thrive there

preservation of our race

liquid eternity

an alteration

gene mutation

transformation of our strain

the source will set us free

condemned to live

doomed to leave our world to die

the guilt weighs heavy on our mind

trapped in this void

deprived of dignity and joy

their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

condemned to live

doomed to leave our world to die

a fate we could not avoid

the guilt weighs heavy on our minds

but we had no other choice

trapped in this void

deprived of joy

now we need to think of ourselves

their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

we need to break out of this hell!
