Liquid Eternity Chords & Lyrics by Ayreon
Liquid Eternity
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: Em F F#
Em/B Am Em/B
Once a world, endless and free
Em/G Em/F#
Horizons unbroken
Em/B Am Em/B
Now a world of bounded frontiers
Em/G Em/F# Em Am B Em
The elders have spoken (our home)
Once a world, eternal and blue
Floating, escaping
Now a world that's blinding my view
Shadows shaping (alone)
[Chorus:]
Em Am B
Liquid eternity courses through our veins
Em Am B
Liquid eternity nourishes our brains
Em Am B
Liquid eternity, a world that does not live
Em Am B
Liquid eternity, a life that does not give
Once a world of fear and dismay
Of fleeing and hiding
Now a world that's peaceful and safe
So caring and providing, our home...
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G# F
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?
Cmaj7 G# F
Would you prefer to be impaired or even dead?
Cmaj7 G# F
Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?
Cmaj7 G# G# G F
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?

Bm A G#m F#m
I'm losing my reason to live
D C# Bm E F#m
The essence of life
E F#m G C#m D Bm
But the system's got so much to give
E F#m G D F#m
Or would you rather die?
I'm losing my pride and my joy
My will to believe
Why would you come back and destroy all
We have achieved?
[Chorus]
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?
Would you prefer to be impaired or even dead?
Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?
[Chorus]
Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had?
Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead?
Would you prefer to live the life we've learned to dread?
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead?
