Lyrics
We never saw this coming
Pride comes before a fall
We never heeded the warnings
Buried deep within us all
[Steve Lee] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Daniel Gildenlöw] Giant machines blot out our sun
[Steve Lee] Frozen minds becoming numb
[Daniel Gildenlöw] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Steve Lee] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Daniel Gildenlöw] I won't accept what we've become
[Steve Lee] We stand to lose more than we've won
[Daniel Gildenlöw] The Age of Shadows has begun
Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to expand the nation
Made us rise from the depths below
[Steve Lee] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Daniel Gildenlöw] Giant machines blot out our sun
[Steve Lee] Frozen minds becoming numb
[Daniel Gildenlöw] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Steve Lee] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Daniel Gildenlöw] I won't accept what we've become
[Steve Lee] We stand to lose more than we've won
[Daniel Gildenlöw] The Age of Shadows has begun
[Hansi Kürsch] No more aggression
[Floor Jansen] No more initiative
[Hansi Kürsch] No more suppression
[Floor Jansen] No more emotions
[Hansi Kürsch] No more recession
[Floor Jansen] No more of all the feelings we shared that made us who we really are
[Hansi Kürsch] No more possessions
[Floor Jansen] No more euphoria
[Hansi Kürsch] No more obsessions
[Floor Jansen] No more sensations
[Hansi Kürsch] No more depressions
[Floor Jansen] No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are
We Are Forever
Time, but a passageway
The beginning of the end
An end that never was
Time, but a curve in space
We are forever
Eternal prisoners in time
We are forever
Caught in our cold inertia
Longing…hoping…waiting…for no one…
Forever we yearn, forever we learn
Forever we live a lie, forever slipping by and
Forever we flee, forever we will be
Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and
Forever we try, forever we die
The spell of love wore off
The zest for life not enough
Longing… hoping… waiting… for no one…
(Never enough)
Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero)
Zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one)
Zero (one) one (zero) one (one) zero (zero)
Zero (one) one (one) zero (zero) zero (zero)
Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero)
Zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one)
Zero (one) one (zero) one (one) zero (zero)
Zero (one) one (one) zero (zero) zero (zero)
Off (on) on (off) off (on) on (off)

Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever
Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever
Forever we tie, forever we die, forever, forever

We never heeded the warning
Buried deep within us all
