House On Mars Lyrics - Ayreon

It is the end of the 21st Century. I have returned to my own childhood. I remember it 

all as the Dream Sequencer images mix with my own recollections. This is the day my 

sister and I realised that we would never see the planet Earth. 

[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen] 

Daddy where are you now 

Forgot about your vow? 

You promised you'd return and take me to Earth 

Did you have to fight that war 

What was it all for? 

The honor of one's name, what is it worth? 

I'm all alone - we're all alone 

My future's unknown - our future's unknown 

I reach out to the stars out here in my house on Mars 

Mother did you hear me cry? 

You never told me why 

You put me in this world of rock and dust 

No friends for playing games 

No foes who scorn my name 

Computerized machines of steel and rust 

Is this my home? - this is our home 

This desolate dome - this desolate dome 

I call out to the stars: I'm alone in my house on Mars 

I'll never smell the ocean breeze 

I'll never climb the highest trees 

I'll never feel the burning sun 

I'll never meet my chosen one... in my house 

Daddy I forgive you now 

You could not keep your vow 

You will never return, I'll never see Earth 

My time has come - our time has come 

I'm emotionally numb - emotionally numb 

I'm headed for the stars, I'm leaving my house on Mars 

No friends in my house on Mars 

No foes in my house on Mars 

I was born in my house on Mars 

I will die in my house on Mars
