Текст песни The Fifth Extinction (Ayreon) с переводом

Through their eyes we will see

With their hands we will create

In their world we will be free

With our minds we’ll shape their fate

Now the die is cast, the first step taken

A glimmer of hope lights up our lives

Visions of the past, dreams forsaken

Forming right before our eyes

We’re alive

Through their pain we’ll learn to live

Remember all life has to give

Now the die is cast, the first step taken

A glimmer of hope lights up our lives

Visions of the past, dreams forsaken

Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes

We’re alive! So alive!

I see a planet, perfect for our needs

Behold our target, a world to plant our seeds

There must be life

First remove any trace of doubt!

They may all die; don’t you think we should check it out?

We have no choice, we waited far too long

This is our planet, this is where they belong

We may regret this

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

A cold execution, a mindless act of cruelty!

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams

Our future lies

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams

Our hopes will rise

I see mainly reptiles

A lower form of intelligence

Mere brainless creatures with no demonstrable sentience

What makes us superior; we did not do so great ourselves!

A dying race, imprisoned in restricted shells

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams

Our future lies

In the World of Tomorrow Dreams

Our hopes will rise

Instrumental

And as the smoke slowly rises

Our planet’s bare and cold

But as the black sky brightens

A wondrous world unfolds

We’re at the dawn of a new age

As we hear the final cries

Ready to enter the next stage

From the ashes we will rise

And as the smoke slowly rises

Our planet’s bare and cold

But as the black sky brightens

A wondrous world unfolds

We’re at the dawn of a new age

As we hear the final cries

Ready to enter the next stage

From the ashes we will rise!

Now the die is cast, the first step taken

A glimmer of hope lights up our lives

Visions of the past, dreams forsaken

Re-ignite the sparkle in our eyes

We are alive
