DESCRIPTION:
A basic condensed version of Ayreon's 01011001 concept album.

(Age of Shadows)
[Hansi Kürsch and Floor Jansen alternating] No more aggression, no more initiative, no more suppression, no more emotions, no more recession, no more of all the feelings we shared that made us who we really are.
No more possessions, no more euphoria, no more obsessions, no more sensations, no more depression, no more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are.

(Liquid Eternity)
[Jørn Lande and Floor Jansen alternating:] 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?

[Magali Luyten:]
Liquid eternity crosses through our veins. Liquid eternity nourishes our brains. Liquid eternity, a world that does not live. Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield.

(Beneath the Waves)
[Steve Lee and Floor Jansen alternating:] Beneath the waves we were invincible. In the silence of the sea. In a world without frontiers. World without walls. Beneath the waves we were inseparable. In the kingdom of the free. In a world without walls.

[Hansi Kürsch, Anneke Van Giersbergen And Floor Jansen:]
Face the facts, there is no way back. Arise! It's time to act. Face the acts, our future is black. Our eyes were on the wrong track.

(Ride the Comet)
[Magali Luyten:]
Carry out our dangerous task, sail uncharted spheres. Live out our dreams, ride the comet. Journey on the Migrator trail, cross the new frontiers. Pass on our genes, ride the comet.

(The Fifth Extinction)
[Tom Englund:] And as the smoke slowly rises
[Jonas Renkse:] Our planet's bare and cold
[Tom Englund:] But as the black sky brightens
[Jonas Renkse:] A wondrous world unfolds
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] We're at the dawn of a new age
[Bob Catley:] As we hear the final cries
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] Ready to enter the next stage
[Bob Catley:] From the ashes we will rise
[Steve Lee:] And as the smoke slowly rises
[Hansi Kürsch:] Our planet's bare and cold
[Steve Lee:] But as the black sky brightens
[Hansi Kürsch:] A wondrous world unfolds
[Floor Jansen:] We're at the dawn of a new age
[Jørn Lande:] As we hear the final cries
[Floor Jansen:] Ready to enter the next stage
[Jørn Lande:] From the ashes we will rise!

(The Truth Is In Here)
[Arjen Lucassen:]
Now I have that dream again, I live beneath the waves in a realm of grace and majesty.

[Liselotte Hegt:]
Mr. L, can I ease your mind?

[Arjen Lucassen:]
In the distant shadows loom cold machines rise from the deep in a world once proud and free.

[Liselotte Hegt:]
Won't you free your thoughts, let it all unwind

[Arjen Lucassen:]
I hate to have that dream again, they live inside my head, feeling everything I feel inside.

[Liselotte Hegt:]
Mr. L, can you please be still?

[Arjen Lucassen:]
They speak to me in dreams, they can see all I can see. They have always been my guide.

[Liselotte Hegt:]
You gotta hush now please, have another pill!

(Unnatural Selection)
[Bob Catley and Steve Lee alternating:] We gave them feelings, what did they sense? Shut out the world and put up a fence... We gave them science, what did they do? They built a bomb and they used it too... We gave them reason, what did they learn? Warmed up the planet and made it burn... We gave them art, and what did they make? Nuclear weapons for their own sake... We gave them insight, what did they see? Degrade the noble, enslave the free... We gave them wisdom, what did they teach? Destroying all that's within their reach... We gave them language, what did they say? They left the planet in disarray... We gave them dreams, and what did they dream?

[Hansi Kürsch:]
Don't want to live in a world that's dying
I'd rather die in a world that's living!

(E=MC²)
[Marjan Welman:]
...Cut through the barrier and do what no one has dared. Let's break the equation... E=MC²

(The Sixth Extinction)
[Hansi Kürsch:] Do you hear them calling?
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] Do you see the hurt?
[Steve Lee:] Do you feel them falling?
[Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen:] All the world's a blazing funeral pyre!
[Tom Englund:] I can hear the wailing!
[Bob Catley:] I can see the wrath!
[Jørn Lande:] I can feel them failing!
[Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:] Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!

[All:]
Make us whole, Migrator soul! Follow me home, complete the circle! We must survive, restore our lives! The way I'll show, complete the circle!

[Hansi Kürsch:]
Send back visions into the past of war and decay!

[Floor Jansen:]
Hear the final cries! I can see them feel in a world without walls.

[Tom Englund:]
I see them dying. We have to teach them, Migrator soul.

[Daniel Gildenlöw:]
We regained our will to fight. We regained...We found a way

[Jørn Lande:]
We have no chance. We are the future, we are the pain. Complete the Circle!
