Evil Devolution - Ayreon

The future’s doored ingress!

What lies beyond?

One of you — ah, survived so much!

— are you man

enough to force this door upon its golden hinge?

You craved the answer — but

can you bear the

truth?

The door --!

The Future --!

our hope’s dissolved

for man’s evolved into another state of being

have we progressed beyond the need of feeling?

a cyber-brain

the last in the chain of man/machine allience

have we become the victims of our science?

evil devolution

is this an illusion

out here in space

human humiliation

this mutation

of our human race

is this the end

will we transcend the need for human pleasures?

will we abandon all our earthly treasures?

will mankind yield

on the battlefield of natural selection

to an inorganic digital perfection?
