Lyrics The Human Compulsion - Ayreon

The Human Compulsion

Do we belong here, do we hide behind our dreams?
Can we live without machines?
Can we resist our compulsion to explore?
Or will we always hunt for more?
Liquid Eternity perpetuates our lives
But will it paralyze our minds?
Without the danger, can we still evolve?
Will our passions all dissolve?
Remember Alpha, the source of human life
Will our history be revived?
The second coming of the Universal Soul
Will make our hollow spirits whole
Maybe one day, man will rise again
Standing tall as we were then
Is this our destiny, a life forevermore?
Or will we crave our time before?
Are we still human, buried in our minds?
Or did we leave ourselves behind?
Our tale’s not over, the circle’s incomplete
We won’t just vanish in the sea!
