Discover the story of the song > Age Of Shadows We Are Forever – Ayreon

The song talks about how humans were so focused on progress and advancement that they didn't notice the warning signs that something bad was coming. Now, the world is covered in shadows from giant machines and people's minds are numb. They've lost their emotions and passions and are trapped in time, longing for something that will never come. The song warns that the age of shadows has begun, and that we stand to lose more than we've won.
