lyrics

Vertebrates

I challenge you to challenge me
in a test of truth and free will
Now you make your moves
and I'll make mine
We'll then debrief and just unwind
There will be no fear of what we say
and no pretenses on this day-

Standing face to face
yet we still won't say
what we believe

Revealing what we want
and who we are
Admitting what we have become
Just spineless mammals adrift at sea
in an evolution still to come

Standing face to face
yet we still don't say
what we believe-
we just avoid/we cave in/we lie [spoken part : 'now here it is' ]

You robbed me of a chance
to engage you on the same page
Now all I hear is lies/ no wonder
I can't reach you

I'd like to speak the truth
if you don't mind
I need to get this out
I better do this quick
while there's still some time
left here/ I want to tell it straight
if you don't mind

You robbed me of a chance
to engage you on the same page
Now all I hear is lies/ no wonder
I can't reach you

I'd like to speak the truth
if you don't mind
I need to get this out
I better do this quick
while there's still some time
left here/ I want to tell it straight
if you don't mind

Let's be vertebrates
Let's be......mmm.
Let's be vertebrates
Let's morph into vertebrates.

You robbed me of a chance
to engage you on the same page
Now all I hear is lies/ no wonder
I can't reach you

I'd like to speak the truth
if you don't mind
I need to get this out
I better do this quick
while there's still some time
well?

I'd like to speak the truth
if you don't mind
I need to get this out
I better do this quick
while there's still some time
well?
You need to hear this straight
if you don't mind.

The Universal Migrator (Remixed & Remastered)
by Ayreon

supported by 4 fans who also own “Raising The Mammoth 1 (Part Three: Vertebrates)”

Calling any of Ayreon's albums mere "albums" is almost a disservice. These albums are a series of interconnected rock operas that comprise an even greater meta-narrative. Of course, you can ignore all of that and just have fun. Migrator was envisioned as two albums, the first being more prog rock centric, while the second one is more prog-metal driven. Both are awesome. Print the lyrics, read them...take it all in...it's so worth it. amiko
