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 (our home)
[Chorus:]
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
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...
[Chorus]
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 (our home)
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
What we have achieved
[Chorus]
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 loved to play
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead
[Chorus]
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 loved to play
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead (our home)
The lyrics LIQUID ETERNITY of AYREON is also present in the album 01011001 (2008)
Ayreon è un progetto musicale progressive rock fondato nel 1995 dall'olandese Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen, compositore e polistrumentista di talento, ha concepito Ayreon come un concept album narrativo in cui diverse voci cantano i ruoli di personaggi immaginari all'interno di una storia fantascientifica complessa. Il primo album, "The Final Experiment", uscì nel 1998 e segnò l'inizio di un percorso musicale unico che ha visto la partecipazione di numerosi artisti ospiti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Ayreon si ricordano "The Day the World Stops Turning" e "Starseed", entrambi tratti dall'album "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Journey". Altri album importanti includono "01011001", "The Theory of Everything" e "Transitus", che hanno consolidato la posizione di Ayreon come progetto musicale innovativo e apprezzato dalla critica. Lucassen, con la sua abilità nel creare mondi musicali complessi e coinvolgenti, ha contribuito a definire il genere progressive rock contemporaneo.
