Lyrics for Liquid Eternity
Once a world, endless and free Horizons unbroken Now a world of bounded frontiers The elders have spoken... Our home Once a world, eternal and blue Floating, escaping Now a world that's blinding my view Shadows shaping (alone) Liquid eternity courses through our veins Liquid eternity nourishes our brains Liquid eternity, a world that does not live Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield Once a world of fear and dismay Of fleeing and hiding Now a world that's peaceful and safe So caring and providing our home Liquid eternity courses through our veins Liquid eternity nourishes our brains Liquid eternity, a world that does not live Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? (Alone) I'm losing my reason to live, the essence of life! But the system's got so much to give! Or would you rather die? I'm losing my pride and my joy, my will to believe! Why would you come back and destroy all we have achieved? Liquid eternity courses through our veins Liquid eternity nourishes our brains Liquid eternity, a world that does not live Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? Liquid eternity courses through our veins Liquid eternity nourishes our brains Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had? Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead? Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread? Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead? (Alone)
