Age Of Shadows Lyrics

Tom Englund:
We never saw this coming
Pride comes before a fall
We never heeded the warnings
Buried deep within us all

Chorus:
Steve Lee: The age of shadows has begun
Daniel Gindelow: Giant machines blot out the sun
Steve Lee:] Frozen minds becoming numb
Daniel Gindelow: The age of shadows has begun
Steve Lee: The age of Shadows has begun
Daniel Gindelow: I won't accept what we've become
Steve Lee: We stand to lose more than we've won
Daniel Gindelow: The age of Shadows has begun

Tom Englund:
Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to expand the nation
Made us rise from the depths below

Chorus

Hansi Kursch: No more aggression
Floor Jansen: No more initiative
Hansi Kursch: No more suppression
Floor Jansen: No more emotions
Hansi Kursch: No more resection
Floor Jansen: No more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are
Hansi Kursch: No more possessions
Floor Jansen: No more suspicious
Hansi Kursch: No more obsessions
Floor Jansen: No more sensations
Hansi Kursch: No more depression
Floor Jansen: No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are

Jonas Renkse:
Time (time, time) but a passageway (a passageway, a passageway)
The beginning of the end (of the end)
An end that never was (was, was, was)
Time (time, time) but a curve in space (curve in space, curve in)

We are forever (we are forever, we are forever) eternal prisoners in time (in time, in time)
We are forever (we are forever) caught in our cold inertia

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one...

Anekke van Giersberg:
Forever we yearn, forever we learn
Forever we live a lie, forever sleeping by and
Forever we flee (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

Jonas Renkse: Longing... hoping... waiting... for no one...
