Unnatural Selection Lyrics


We have to teach them all that we know
their evolution moves far too slow
expand their minds, reject compliance
upgrade their knowledge, upload our scienceThis revolution will lead to their demise
we should not make the same mistake twice
we're kept alive by artificial means
but lost our souls to a world of machinesListen to the warningWe need to teach them to fight disease
they seem so helpless and need our expertise
I see them dying all across the globe
their greatest foe is but a small microbeThis sudden change leads to overpopulation
shifting the balance, destructive habitation
killing all life, biological invasion
consuming Earth by ruthless exploitationCan you see the fire in their eyes?
Can you hear the anguish in their cries?
Can you feel the beauty in their arts?
Can you sense the love within their harts?
I can taste the freedom we once had
I can touch their pain when they feel sad

I can smell the fragrance of the air
I relive the times we used to shareDon't want to live in a world that's dying
I'd rather die in a world that's livingWe gave them feelings what did they sence?
Shut out the world and put up a fence...
We gave then science, what did they do?
They build a bomb and they used it too...
We gave them reason, what did they learn?
Warmed up the planet and made it burn...
We gave them art and what did they make?
Nuclear weapens for their own sake...
We gave them insight what did they see?
Degrade the noble, enslave the free...
We gave them wisdom what did they teach?
Destroying all that's within their reach..
We gave them language what did they say?
They left the planet in disarray...
We gave them dreams and what did they dream?A chain of guilt around our neck
a planet straying in darkness
can we save the lives we wrecked?
I say we should find a way,
I say stop this decayad libs

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

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.
