Age Of Shadows (Including We Are Forever)

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

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

Time? but a passageway?
The beginning of the end?
An end that never was?
Time? but a curve in space?

We are forever
Eternal prisoners in time?
We are forever
Caught in our cold inertia
Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one?

Forever we yearn, forever we learn
Forever we live a lie, forever slipping by and
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

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one

Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever
Forever we try, forever we die, forever, forever
Forever we tie, forever we die, forever, forever

We never heeded the warning
Buried deep within us all
