Lyrics for The First Man On Earth by Ayreon:
| | | Artist: | Ayreon |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The First Man On Earth | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | "It is 50000 B.C. The world is almost empty; nature is still untouched by man. Off in the
/>
distance, a clan of ape-like creatures gather near a cliff side. But I am the first to
/>
stand. I must be..."
[Neil Morse, Mark McCrite]
In fields of green,
vast as the oceans
Is this a dream, is it evermore?
A million years, fast as a notion
/>
I stand alone here on the silent shore
I'm after prey in the fields
Shelter in
a cave from the cold and lonely nights
And now it all seems so real
Warming at the
fireside beneath the pale moonlight
This is the dawn of time
I am the first to
stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
This is the dawn of time
/>
Witnessing the birth
I am the first man on earth
The skies of blue reach to
the heavens
They go on and on forevermore
No avenues, no city sidewalks
Planet
Mars is but ancient lore
This place has all that I need
No computers glowing
screens, no industrial machines
Somehow it all seems surreal
Memories of days gone by, a
slowly fading scene
No one here to blame me
No one here to hurt
So much
space here to occupy my mind
I can breathe the breath of virgin land
The firefly
at nighttime
The sounds of nothing known
And I belong here like I never have before
/>
The wandering child returning home
When twilight falls, red is the sunset
/>
Planets appear across the colored sky
No prison walls, no war, no bloodshed
Hard to
believe this new world will die
I wish that I could stay for a while
In the dream
world that the sequencer creates
And though it all seems so real
Now I fear the time is
gone, I feel its heavy weight
Hold on to this moment in time
