Evil Devolution Lyrics - 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 --! 

[futureman] 

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? 

evil devolution 

is this an illusion 

out here in space 

human humiliation 

this mutation 

of our human race
