Ayreon - My House On Mars Lyrics
"It is the end of the 21st Century. I have returned to my own childhood. I remember itall as the Dream Sequencer images mix with my own recollections. This is the day mysister and I realised that we would never see the planet Earth."[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen]Daddy where are you nowForgot about your vow?You promised you'd return and take me to EarthDid you have to fight that warWhat was it all for?The honor of one's name, what is it worth?I'm all alone - we're all aloneMy future's unknown - our future's unknownI reach out to the stars out here in my house on MarsMother did you hear me cry?You never told me whyYou put me in this world of rock and dustNo friends for playing gamesNo foes who scorn my nameComputerized machines of steel and rustIs this my home? - this is our homeThis desolate dome - this desolate domeI call out to the stars: I'm alone in my house on MarsI'll never smell the ocean breezeI'll never climb the highest treesI'll never feel the burning sunI'll never meet my chosen one... in my houseDaddy I forgive you nowYou could not keep your vowYou will never return, I'll never see EarthMy time has come - our time has comeI'm emotionally numb - emotionally numbI'm headed for the stars, I'm leaving my house on MarsNo friends in my house on MarsNo foes in my house on MarsI was born in my house on MarsI will die in my house on Mars
