Aquatic Race Lyrics

Get ready for takeoff
And forget the frame
Get ready to shake off
All the guilty chains
Our ship is departing
To a far off place
Our saga is starting
An aquatic race

Our world is ruined
No turning back
Their fate is cruel
Their future black
Last day is here
They lost all power
The end is near
It's zero hour
Our time is short
We need to leave
We're all at war
We welcome change
All set to go
Switch engines on
Secure controls
We leave at dawn

This time we wont depend on cold machinery
I always knew where that would lead
It's time we plan ahead and form a strategy
No computers, no machines

Hybernation now begins
Our minds allowed to dream
Eternity will course through our veins
Transformation will set in
The Source is flowing through
Augmenting our brains
Forevermore
Forever

Our final chance
Our final leap
We'll be in trance
We'll be asleep
What will we dream?
Will it seem real?
What will we see?
How will we feel?

I say we change our ways
And learn from the past
We cannot make the same mistakes
I say we start today
This chance may be our last
Our people's futures are extinct

Rejuvenation will begin
Our thoughts and love restrained
Infinity will liberate our minds
Immortality sets in
Wash our fears away
Leave all our doubt behind
Forever

Let the flowing in
Wash away
Immerse yourself into this realm
Of liquid dreams
Everlasting life
Drown away your past
Allow yourself to drift
Beyond the bounds of death
And reach out for infinity

Get ready for takeoff
And forget the frame
Get ready to shake off
All the guilty chains
Our ship is departing
To a far off place
Our saga is starting
An aquatic race

Get ready for takeoff
And forget the frame
Get ready to shake off
All the guilty chains
Our ship is departing
To a far off place
Our saga is starting
An aquatic race

Embrace our future home
Beneath the tides
Soon we will be one with our new ocean world
Time without an end
Life without a can
Allow yourself to sail
Beyond the fringe of time
And reach out for infinity

Get ready for takeoff
And forget the frame
Get ready to shake off
All the guilty chains
Our ship is departing
To a far off place
Our saga is starting
An aquatic race

Get ready for takeoff
And forget the frame
Get ready to shake off
All the guilty chains
Our ship is departing
To a far off place
Our saga is starting
An aquatic race

Ayreon is a progressive metal project started by Dutch composer and musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen in 1995. Based in Hilversum, Netherlands, Ayreon's musical style derives mostly from heavy metal and progressive rock, but combines them with genres like folk, classical and electronica. The majority of Ayreon's albums are dubbed a "rock opera" with an ongoing science fiction storyline featuring a host of characters, usually with each one being represented by a unique vocalist.

Ayreon's music is characterized by the use of traditional instruments in rock music (guitars, bass guitar, drums, analogue synthesizers, electric organs) mixed with instruments more native to folk and classical music (e.g. mandolins, violins, violas, celli, flutes, sitars and didgeridoo). Lucassen writes the music and the lyrics, sings and plays instruments on all of the Ayreon albums, alongside many guest musicians. His most regular collaborator is drummer Ed Warby.
