Closer To An Animal Lyrics - Sonata Arctica

I am a man 

You fell down from that apple tree 

The other day with me 

We had already forgotten 

We one day crawled up 

From the sea 

Imagine now 

If we one day could build 

A flying contraption and see the world 

What if we could somehow 

Store knowledge in a cloud 

Draw a smiling face on the moon 

Find the meaning of life

Riding the crest of our time 

With bravado, soon complete 

Will we see a new one rise behind us 

A new chance, a new world 

Our wave 

It's about to break 

And we're about to dive in the void 

It echoes our fall 

Our paean to avarice 

I think we're closer to an animal 

Every day, till we fall... 

Can you believe 

We have all those eyes high in the sky 

And we can now see the world 

One thing truly makes me blind 

The wisdom of hindsight 

The eye in my own hand 

Photos 

Riding the crest of our time 

With bravado, soon complete 

Will we see a new one rise behind us 

A new chance, a new world 

I think I'm closer to an animal 

Every day, till I fall... 

If you want it all 

You can have it all 

But greed raises oceans too 

When the glacier of 

Our broken dreams 

Melts in your champagne glass 

Someone knocks on your door 

Four times... 

Sand in your hour glass 

Every grain is a day falling 

Finding it's rightful place 

If you want it all 

You can have it all 

But greed raises oceans too 

When the glacier of 

Your broken dreams 

Melts in your champagne glass 

Do we need it all 

We can have it all 

Our greed will raise oceans soon 

And the glacier of 

Our human dream 

Gone with the champagne glass 

In the sea 

"I am a man 

In the grand scheme of things 

Only minutes have passed 

Since I crawled up from the sea 

But already 

I've built a flying contraption 

And seen the world 

I've drawn a smiley face on the moon 

And stored knowledge in a cloud 

...What a wonderful gift our mind is. 

But why am I using it 

To destroy this beautiful planet... 

My only home. 

If it defines me, if it makes me a human, 

I need to get closer to my inner animal."
