age of shadows

• ayreon'un 01011001 albümünün ilk parçası. aynı zamanda albüm ismini taşıyan sözleriylede dikkat çekiyor. bayan ana vokalde sanırım anneke van giersbergen 'yi görüyoruz. buyrun sözleri:
  
  we never saw this coming
  pride comes before our fall
  we never heeded the warning
  buried deep within us all
  
  the age of shadows has begun
  giant machines blot out the sun
  frozen lands becoming known
  the age of shadows has begun
  the age of shadows has begun
  i won't accept what we've become
  we stand to lose more than we've won
  the age of shadows has begun
  
  our quenchless thirst for knowledge
  our urge to change and grow
  our need to extermination
  made us rise from the depths below
  
  (chorus)
  
  no more repression
  no more supression
  no more recession
  
  no more possession
  no more obsessions
  no more depression
  
  time...
  but a passage way
  someday getting off the end
  an end that never was
  
  time...
  but a curve a space
  home... we are forever
  eternal prisoners in time
  
  oh, we are forever
  caught in our cold inertia
  longing, hoping, waiting
  for nothing
  
  forever we are
  forever we learn
  forever we live a lie
  forever slipping by
  
  and forever we flee
  forever we'll be
  forever is but a dream
  forever is but a scream
  
  and forever we try
  forever we die
  a spell alive for all
  
  possessed for life
  not enough...
  longing, hoping, waiting
  never enough
  
  zero, one, zero, one, one, zero, zero, one
  (forever we try)
  (forever we die)
  (forever...)
  
  longing, hoping, waiting
  for the ...
  
  no more repression
  no more supression
  no more recession
  
  no more possession
  no more obsession
  no more depression
  
  (chorus)x2
  
  we never heeded the warning
  buried deep within us all
