Ayreon
Tower of Hope (Live)
[Forever of the Stars: John de Lancie]
I promised you'd be frightened
I promised you'd be scared
Didn't I, Didn't I?
But dear friends don't despair
Hope srings eternal
There's magic in the air
Put your dancing shoes on
Grab on to the rope
It's time to climb the "Tower Of Hope"
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
We're climbing up the stairs
And hope is flowing through our veins
(We're climbing up the stairs
And hope is flowing through our veins)
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
There's magic everywhere
We've been released of all our chains
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
We're taking in the view
Oceans of blue, fields of green
(We're taking in the view
Oceans of blue, fields of green)
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
I fear this can't be true
We're still inside this dream machine
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I only felt what I wanted to feel
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
I only saw what I wanted to see
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I'm at the end of my rope
[Both:]
Lost in the Tower of Hope
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I see a brand new age
Where peace and harmony prevail
(I see a brand new age
Where peace and harmony prevail)
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
But we're still in this cage
Destined to die here if we fail
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I only felt what I wanted to feel
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
I only saw what I wanted to see
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I'm at the end of my rope
[Both:]
Lost in the Tower of Hope
[Solo]
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I see a brand new age
Where peace and harmony prevail
(We're climbing up the stairs
And hope is flowing through our veins)
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
But we're still in this cage
Destined to die here if we fail
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I only felt what I wanted to feel
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
I only saw what I wanted to see
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I only went where I wanted to go
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
I only knew what I wanted to know
[Both:]
And we became who we wanted to be
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I only felt what I wanted to feel
[Futureman: Edward Reekers]
I only saw what I wanted to see
[Hippie: Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
I'm at the end of my rope
[Both:]
Lost in the tower of hope
