Текст: Ayreon. 01011001. The Fifth Extinction.
A] Glimmer of Hope
Trough 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 Tomorrow Dreams
I see a planet, perfect for our needs
behold our target, a world to plant our seeds
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 far 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 act of cruelty!
In the world of Tomorrow Dreams
Our future lies
In the World of Tomorrow Dreams
Our hopes will rise
I see mainly reptiles
A lower form or intelligence
mere brainless creatures
with no demonstrable sentience
What makes us superior
We did not do so great ourselves!
A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells
C] Collision Course
D] From the Ashes
And as the smoke slowly rises
our planet's bare 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
ready to enter the next stage
from the ashes we will rise!
And as the smoke slowly rise

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
