Missing something in my life
Searching for it day and night
Couldn't seem to get it right
'Til you walked my way
Leaving lovers one by one
Didn't like who I'd become
Couldn't face myself, I turn and run
Made me see that I could change
Out of my darkness
As I step into the light
We get a new day
Taking one step at a time
You were what I needed
I was falling
Hiding my emotion
You made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Girl, you were my rescue
All I needed was you
I used to always get my way
Told me that you wouldn't stay
Had to face it, what you had to say
If I wanted you
You tell me when I did you wrong
I guess I've known it all along
Cared enough and you stood strong
I believed in you
In my frustrations
Tried to become someone else
The years I've wasted
I'd been lying to myself
You were what I needed
I was falling
Hiding my emotion
You made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Hear me calling
What I needed
What I needed was you
In you I found shelter
How you believed in me, stood strong
You were there through my darkest hour
You lifted my spirit up
Brought out the best in me
And now I'll stand before you with all my love
You were what I needed
I was falling
Hiding my emotion
But you made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Girl you were my rescue

Hold on, hold on
To opportunities you thought long gone
Hold on, hold on
To the could-have-beens and should-have-dones
You can lose yourself along the way
Find there's something new in yesterday
Hold onto your faith and your dreams
Look into yourself and believe
In you
Oh, go on, go on
The stars will guide your journey home, yeah
Oh, it won't be long
'Til you see your diamonds in the stone, yeah
'Cause there's still some magic here tonight
If you just step out into the light
Hold onto your faith and your dreams
Look into yourself and believe
I believe in you, believe in me
I believe in you, believe in me
I believe the truth will set you free, yeah
I believe in you, believe in me
I believe in you, believe in me
(Hold on) Hold on, hold on
To your innocence and your beliefs
Mmm, hold on, hold on
Onto who you are and where you've been
I believe in you, believe in me, yeah
I believe in you, believe in me
Oh, I believe the truth will set you free, yeah, yeah
I believe in you, believe in me
Oh I believe in you, believe in me
Oh I believe in you, believe in me
Yeah I believe the truth will set you free
Oh, I believe in you, believe in me
Oh, whoa, oh yeah, oh yeah
I believe in you (I believe in you)
Darlin', believe in me (Darlin', believe in me)
I believe in you (I believe in you)

Desperately falling
Feeling our love set us free
We were better together
Believed it was all meant to be
Stay as one forever
The band of gold would always prevail
Happy in the moment
Life betrays one, a fairytale
Memories time cannot erase
I still see your face
Where did I lose your love
You'll always be the question in my heart
How could I make you stay
I still regret the night you walked away
What we shared was not enough
Where did I lose your love
Never saw it coming
You left so suddenly
What was here that scared you
You want what I couldn't see
Emotions time cannot erase
I still see your face
Where did I lose your love
You'll always be the question in my heart
How could I make you stay
I still regret the night you walked away
What we shared was not enough
Where did I lose your love
So far from each other
So close to happiness
I'll be there to remind you
Love forgives but never forgets
Emotions time cannot erase
I still see your face
Where did I lose your love
You'll always be the question in my heart
How could I make you stay
I still regret the night you walked away
How could I make you stay
Where did I lose your love
Still regret the night you walked away

Open my eyes to a new kind of way
All the good times that you've saved
Are you feeling
You felling that way too
Or am I just
Am I just your fool
Please baby stay
Just for today
Just please stay
Are you feeling
You feeling that way too
Or am I just
Am I just your fool
A new road's waiting, you touch my life
Soft and warm on a summer's might
Are you feeling
You feeling that way too
Or am I just
Am I just your fool
Please baby stay
Just for today
Just please baby stay
Please for today
Are you feeling
You feeling that way too
Or am I just

The situation's got me rattled
I twist and turn late at night
This whole world's up in shambles
Who's the one to make it right
Missing persons lost in action (action)
Forgotten victims of the night (victims of the night)
They're making crime the main attraction (attraction)
They're making everyone uptight
They're all looking for a fight
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense
You'll take your chances, Mr. Policeman (policeman)
You're like a cat with thirteen lives (cat with
thirteen lives)
Your law and order is our lifeline (lifeline)
Through the danger, you'll survive
I do what I need to stay alive
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense
In self (self) defense
In self (self) defense
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way

Kids hanging out on a Saturday night
Waitin' on wheels, wanna go for a ride
Cruisin' 'round town, just feels right
Got to get away
Blasting rock and hip hop, they know
All dressed down with no place to go
A difficult age just takin' it slow
Wait for better days
Can't stop the wild and restless
Still the ritual goes on
Following the footsteps
Where their fathers used to run
Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh, in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are gonna shine
Ooh, there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation
Fashions go and come back around
And vinyl LPs still got a cool sound
Flash back to retro (retro)
It's all new again
Fighting wars under different names
Losing daughters and sons, we all feel the pain
Through the tears, why don't things ever change
Between now and then
While the radio's still playin'
That familiar sweet love song
We still share the same desire
We all need to belong
Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are gonna shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation
Some generations leave us heroes of their day
With magic moments that still take our breaths away
Some will inherit all the politics and blame
And some will leave this world a better place
Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are gonna shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every generation
They keep comin' around
Every generation
Na na na na na
Yeah
Na na na na na

Morning sunlight on her face
As he wakes her with a kiss
She's been everything he wanted
They were married as high school sweethearts
Never dreamed it'd be like this
Finding nothing for them comes easy
Trying hard just to make a living
Seems life won't give them a break
Well as long as they've got each other
Ooh, they'll find a way
There's a better life
Waiting out there somewhere
They gotta learn to fly
Need to spread their wings to soar
There's a better life
They'll find it together (keep holding on)
She shows him rainbows every time he sees her smile
They've been more than lovers
There's no mountain they can't climb
Can't stop dreaming dreams together
Gotta rise above the crossroads
Beyond the streets they were born
To a place where prayers are answered
And battles are won
There's a better life
Waiting out there somewhere
They gotta learn to fly
Need to spread their wings to soar
There's a better life
They'll find it together
They keep holding on
It only makes them strong
They wanna learn to fly
Gotta arise above the crossroads
Beyond the streets they were born
To a place where prayers are answered
And battles are won
There's a better life
Waiting out there somewhere
They gotta learn to fly
Need to spread their wings to soar
There's a better life
They'll find it together (keep holding on)
She shows him rainbows every time he sees her smile
There's a better life
(Waiting somewhere)

Her head is filled with doubt
Search her heart for faith that can't be found
He's running desperate now
All that he's become is just not working anymore
He's needing something more
Someone that he used to be
Part of her is a mystery
Spinning around in an empty place
Lie to themselves till they're blind with rage
It's never too late to feel the world come crashing
down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond
the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
You know it's never too late to change
So much to understand
So much to feel and finally now you can
They'll see a different day all because they faced
themselves
And now I hear them say they're gonna be okay
She found who she used to be and now there is no
mystery
Open his eyes in a brand new place
A different soul in a different place
It's never too late to feel the world come crashing
down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond
the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
Love is waiting, love is patient, love is kind
Love is falling into places in their minds
They love enough to know the difference
The dream they had today, don't throw it all away
It's never too late to feel the world come crashing
down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond
the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
You know it's never too late to change
To rise above it all, never question, never fall
There is no mystery they are who they used to be
They're in a brand new place,
A different soul and a different face

Lost in a feeling
And this distance between us
I start believing
These days we're drifting apart
We're leading separate lives
Separately missing each other
It's time that we face the light
We can't go on pretending this way
I want to get back to the place in your heart
When we knew with a kiss
How we felt from the start
Can we still make it real
As we lie in the dark
Am I still there
In the place in your heart
When was the last time
We were lost in the moment
Seems like we can't find
Oh, the love that we used to share
If I could take you there
Could we surrender together
Somewhere to begin again
Oh, it hurts just to go this way
Yeah
I want to get back to the place in your heart
When we knew with a kiss
How we felt from the start
Can we still make it real
As we lie in the dark
Somewhere there's love
We've come this far
Reach out your hand and I'll find where you are
Am I still there
In the place in your heart
Times that I let you down
You could have just walked away
Yes, I need your forgiveness now
Don't say it's too late, yes
I want to get back to the place in your heart
When we knew with a kiss
How we felt from the start
Can we still make it real
As we lie in the dark
Somewhere there's love
We've come this far
Reach out your hand and I'll find where you are
Am I still there
In the place in your heart
Oh, let me take you there
Save a place for me baby
Save a place in your heart
Aw, let me take you there

So now love is gone
I can't go on, love is gone
I want to say but it's just too late
Waited far too long
Should have told you then I knew
Should have told you right from the start
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart
You meant more to me than I let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness and your sweet caress
I miss you now
But a headstrong stubborn man
Only works it out the best he can
Valentines he never sent
There's not enough time, he's a workin' man
Can't stop fallin', heartaches callin'
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners, take no prisoners
What's left after you fall? No not much, no
Oh I say love is gone, I can't go on
Now love is gone
I want to say but it's just too late
Waited far too long
Should have told you then I knew
Should have told you right from the start
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart
Can't stop fallin', heartaches callin'
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners, take no prisoners
What's left after you fall? No not much, no
No, no, not much, after the fall

Young blood has got it shakin'
Growin' up, she's changin'
She's so tough to try tame her
These days she just wants to run wild
Short skirt, loves her make up
Plays the flirt, it's daddy's wake up
He's on the edge of teen age shake up
It's so bad he's losing sleep at night
Cause he was young once restless and free
An apple doesn't fall far from a tree
She's the pride of the family
Stands above the crowd, makes them all believe
She's the pride of the family
When it's her time to fly
She's got love on her side
Photographs of her childhood
The years have passed
Where did they run to
Love still lasts the tears they've been through
Time's a thief as precious moments fly by
Dreamy eyes like her mama
Her temper flies like her papa
Her brother's cool and he's never been a bother
But he's someone to turn to
When life ain't feelin' right
Hold on loosely but never let go
The rest she'll have to find out on her own
She's the pride of the family
Stands above the crowd, makes them all believe
She's the pride of the family
When it's her time to fly
She's got love on her side
Hold on loosely but never let go
The rest she'll have to find out on her own
She's the pride of the family
Stands above the crowd, makes them all believe
She's the pride of the family
When it's her time to fly

Man is love man is animal
A warrior an intellectuell
He's the face of original sin
He's the devil and the poet within
Our father's have embraced the messian
Made the peace with Allah
Even sought to be like Buddha
To follow the old ways of Krishna
Pretending prophets come to rule this age
Turn the faith to fuel the wars they stage
Well something has to change to go beyond the pain
And somehow turn the page
To whom it may concern I'm sending out a prayer
The world finds peace in my lifetime
To whom it may concern are you listening
Are you There? I'll keep my hopes for paradise alive
To whom it may concern
We simply want to live it free
So happy and in harmony
No guilt, no fear, no hell to burn
To whom it may concern I'm sending out a prayer
The world finds peace in my lifetime
To whom it may concern are you listening
Are you There? I'll keep my hopes for paradise alive
I close my eyes
To whom this may concern
We care you'll see we aren't cold
When flesh and bones our live is lord
And now we meet the gods who rule this age
Well nothing much has changed
Politicians, Landlords crowd our age
We simply want to live it free
So happy and in harmony
No guilt, no soul, no hell to burn

Down the lowest I can go
With no one left to turn
On the edge, I lose control
Before I crash and burn
Can I turn around
Slow it down, oh
Hold on, we've still got living to do
So far gone
See life for someone like you
In your eyes
You showed me reasons to live
Take time
The time it takes to forgive
It's my life, it'll change for the better
I've faced the light
It's worth the fight
See a new day
Start a new way
Get it straight
Make it change for the better
I was dying, a drowning man
And I wish you well
Pull me from the darkness
And save me from myself
Wake up, shake it off
Let go
What I'm pretending to be
I know
I'm still the man I could be, yeah
It's my life, it'll change for the better
I've faced the light
It's worth the fight
See a new day
Start a new way
Get it straight
Make a change for the better
I'm waking up to find
A different state of mind
There was a new place, I'm okay
I've changed for the better
I've opened up my eyes
I'm glad to be alive
It's never too late
To cheat fate
Changed for the better
And now then there is no hope
Until we are faced without
We can never fall in love
Until we learn to live without
In our love we can't find peace
Without conflict in our lives
And the healing won't begin, oh
'Til we open up our eyes
It's my life, it'll change for the better
I've faced the light
It's worth the fights
See a new day
Start a new way
Get it straight
It all comes together
Made my mind up
There's still time enough
I'm all right
Made a change for the better
Change for the better
Change for the better, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I'm all right

So long ago, has it been that long
Since we felt the sun
Where has it gone to
Has it hid from the world
Have we lost our way
I can remember it filling the sky
And it'd warm my face
The summers were endless
But they're over now
That was yesterday
I know we'll find love again
If we all pray a little
The heart will break free
Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits
She's waiting now
Beyond the clouds
Sorrow seems endless
Now there's only so much
That a man can bear
Hold on so tender
To a glimmer of faith
Gets me half way there
I know it will shine again
With some prayer and some patience
We'll find our way home
Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits
She's waiting now
Just beyond
Beyond anything you've ever known
Oh, so beautiful
Like a summer sky
Oh, you know it won't be long
If we find the strength I know
There beyond the clouds
We'll find the sun
Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits, oh yeah
She's waiting now
Beyond
Beyond the clouds
That's where my love waits
She's waiting now
Beyond the clouds
Yeah, that's it now, ooh
Oh, that's it now, baby, ooh
Beyond everything you've ever known
Oh, if I could find the strength, I know

Young and wild with a madness
I wouldn't listen
I thought I knew just exactly
The way life would be, you see
You came along and you showed me
Just what I was missing
You opened my eyes with your sweet love
Oh, then I could see
They said it wouldn't last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we've always known that we belong
And we're better together
If we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I'll be there if you should fall
Oh, we're better together, all right, yeah yeah
Running alone, I was searching
While you were there waiting
Lessons in love I was learning
Were all right with me, you see
You changed my world and you gave me
Aw, the kiss you were saving
Ooh, we had each other to fight for
Ooh, when no one believed
They said it wouldn't last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we've always known that we belong
And we're better together
If we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I'll be there if you should fall
Yeah, we're better together
Ooh it gets so lonely out there
Oh, playing my solitaire
Oh, Mustang
All right
Wait a minute
Young and wild with a madness
This time I listened, baby
You opened my eyes with your sweet love
Ooh, yeah, you set me free
They said it wouldn't last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we've always known where we belong
Yeah we're better together
Oh, if we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I'll be there if you should fall
Oh we're better together
So much better, girl, we're better together
Better together, all right
Listen
Let's get together, let's get together, all right
Let's get together, well
Let's get together, let's get together right now

Day has come
You're prepared
Electricity in the air
Feel the calm
Feel the rush
You want to leave victorious
Will you look in their eyes
They want you gone, they want the prize
When day is done, risk it all
One will stand, and one will fall
When you learn to lose
You'll know what it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
Seal the deal
Get it done
Earn the right to say you've won
Work it out
Sacrifice
Someone's gonna have to pay the price
Face to face
Stand your ground
Stay in the zone, now don't back down
More than pride
You depend
Fighting hard 'til the very end
When you learn to lose
You'll know what it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
When you share the dream
There's no "I" in team
Let the spirit take you higher
It's a state of mind
No one can define
There's no limit to desire
When you learn to lose
You'll know what it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
What it takes to win

She never knew the meaning of the word
Or ever heard or felt of freedom
All she knew was looking out from windows
Streaked with her own tears and her own shadows
Within a cage, tried to escape
The silent rage
Cause no one ever listened
Behind her back, she's both wings tied
She will break free
She will not be denied
And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
And no one there to tell her where to go
So she flies
Sweet butterfly
Counting every second, minutes turn to hours
Seems like years
The wait's eternal
Finally passed the point of all lost hope
She will break free
She will not be denied, oh no
And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
And no one there to tell her where to go
So she flies
Like a butterfly, oh
Yeah
Within a cage
Tried to escape the silent rage
But no one ever listened
Behind her back
She's both wings tied
She will break free
She will not be denied
So she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
She don't need me to tell her where to go
Sweet little butterfly
So she
She flies alone
Up into the great unknown
She don't need me to tell her where she goes
So she flies
Within a cage
Tried to escape the silent rage
Where no one ever listened
Behind her back
She's both wings tied
She will break free
She will break free

He grew up in some forgotten midwest town
His mama raised him well
Barely getting by, but he'd be okay
As far as he could tell
Oh, the plant in town closed ten years ago
Now an empty ghost ship stands
For the last nine months he's tried to find a job
But there's nothing to be had
So he signs up to fight for Uncle Sam
It's the only choice he's got
To fight a desert war with another land
Only to find peace or not
He's a moving target in a desperate place
Every day is a twist of fate
Oh, his family wonders if he'll make it home
Knowing his faith's his saving grace
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Keep them all out of harms way
Harms way
Oh, they sent him home to his family
Nursing wounds that no one sees
Certain scents and smells trigger flashback spells
That rewind the tragedy
All these memories hold him prisoner
Cause of the violence he regrets
What was his ticket out is his nightmare now
In a war he can't forget
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Keep them all out of harms way

"I join the Migrator on its long journey through time and space in search of the planet
Earth. On my journey I encounter many fantastic astronomical phenomena."
Ralf Scheepers
Fly me across the sky
Fly me to the edges of space
Show me the wond'rous sensations
And mysteries of aeons gone by
Guide me through a maze of stars
Guide me to the birth of my race
Give me the answers to questions
Reveal to me secrets of life
Journey on the waves of time
Lead me through the centuries
Lead me to places unknown
Sail me away on the x-rays
Of quasars that died long-ago
Carry me through the universe
Carry me back to my home
In search of the gateway
That leads us into the black hole
Journey on the waves of time
Our quest for life has now begun
The die is cast
Our voyage leads us to the sun

Reason Now you know the truth, what will you do?
Me I still can't believe it's true...
Passion You better believe it, and make them pay!
Me There has to be another way...
Pride You cannot take this lying down!
Me I gotta stand up, can you show me how?
Love You must forgive them and open your heart
Me It's all my fault, it tears me apart!
Agony It would have been better if you would have just died!
Me No, I've got to win this fight!
Fear But can you face them after all you did?
Me I gotta reveal the feelings I hid
Best Friend See him fight, he's all on his own...
Me I need your help, can't do it alone!
Wife Listen to me, can you hear me shout?

Father Look at you, lying there, defenceless and alone
See I am no fool, I always knew you wouldn't make it on your own
Cos you're just like your mother, well, where is she now?
You'll end up like her soon, 6 feet under ground, loser!
I came here to watch you bleed, oh how I love to gloat
If you had any balls at all, you'd grab me by the throat
You don't even look like me, ha! Not even close!
You're an aberration, some freak...I suppose, loser!
I had my fun, I'm going back to the place I don't call home
There's no one there who waits for me, but you won't hear me moan
My ex-wives all sue me, and with half my kids in jail
I'll still come out laughing, cause me? I never fail, loser!
Rage NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
You're killing it from afar, go tell it in a bar

egyptian
my journey's over
I'm standing on the edge
and close my eyes
to this world of lies
my will is broken
it's the end of all my dreams
my soul yearns
for the valley of the queens
my rose has withered
it will never bloom again
the soil is dry
time has come to die
my faith has left me
they've stolen all my dreams
oh lay me down
in the valley of the queens
my search has ended
my name is carved in stone
on the temple wall
beyond Osiris hall
no holy sunrays
will light my tomb of dreams
I won't return

"It is the 21st century. The Final Experiment has failed. The final devastating war that
was foretold by the blind minstrel Ayreon has indeed come to pass. The war has destroyed
all life on Earth, making it completely uninhabitable. I hover above my own dead body..."
Lana Lane
Silence fills the air
Echoes fade away
Of sadness and despair
On that cruel and fateful day
My body lies motionless
Upon the kitchen floor
The Earth has died, the world's at rest
2084
Many centuries ago
In a dark enchanted land
Our fate had been foretold
By a poor misguided man
We carried on down the road we chose
The path of nevermore
The journey ends, the book is closed
2084
And now I have to leave, my work on earth is done
I'm heading for the planet known as Mars
To the last of its race, the final newborn son

Lying on my back on a railway
Looking at the sky and its full moon
In the back of my head I feel the rumbling wheels
Shaking my memories
It's getting darker and darker and darker
My hands are frozen and steam comes out of my mouth
As I whisper my last words
Seem to fade away
The train is moving forward and closer
Can't stand up and walk away
Once I made my mind up so long ago
Now I can't change
It is just too bad
I feel so left alone, so forgotten
Nobody knows where I am, no one misses me
Cold water runs from my eyes
And the cold is freezing my last tears
Like I'm only half in my body, I can't feel
I think I'm already half gone, I can't think
It's getting colder and colder and colder
I can't breathe
The train is moving forward and closer
Can't stand up and walk away
Once I made my mind up so long ago
Now I can't change
It is just too bad
Cold metal - burning in my back
Cold cold metal - freezing
Cold cold metal - my head will burst open
Cold cold metal - it's been too much

At last! you enter the Electric Castle! Here in this vast hall where even shadows fear the
light - here you must confront your past. If you have killed, beware of the Gathering of Spirits
for they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World becomes flesh once more. I pity the
men of swords.
For here blood runs cold...
barbarian
cries from the grave resound in my ears
they hail from beyond my darkest fears
faces of the past are etched in my brain
the women I raped, the men I've slain
shades of the dead are sliding on the wall
demons dance in the castle hall
knight
I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur
grant me the skill to fulfill my quest
I call upon my king and the knights of the table round
grant me the courage to stand to this test
I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
grant me the magic to end my pain
I call upon the spirit that lives in a noble heart
grant me the passion that's within my veins
shades of the dead are sliding on the wall
demons dance in the castle hall

Ah, my friends! So light of foot. So swift. You have come this far. And now - here beneath the
ancient, omniscient boughs of the Decision Tree - one of you must depart this world of flesh.
Only seven may continue. Only you can decide...
barbarian
let it be known I won't be the one to die here
honour and glory are heaped upon my name
let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here
what about the tall one, the one who's lost to shame
highlander
I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners
I've killed and wounded on the side of right
I've reaped the harvest, scattered fields with ashes
I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate
all (chorus:)
we're alive
we'll survive
we will strike for
our freedom
we're alive
we'll survive
we'll arrive in our
eden
highlander
I've followed princes
I've followed kings
I will take their lead no
more
I will not lie
in shallow graves
(I'm nobody's slave)
barbarian
let it be known, by Thor the god of lightning
I have been chosen to do battle at his side
let it be clear I was born to go down fighting
what about the craven, the one who's lost his pride
highlander
don't speak to me of homour, pride and glory
I've tasted blood, seen your type before
you talk of battle but all you tell are stories
you'd see me buried in a shallow grave

B. DEATH'S GRUNT
death
I am the breeze

I am the fire

I am the sun

I am your fate
the guardian at the gate
I am death and I claim your final breath!
C. THE PASSING OF AN EAGLE

I overheard the elders telling each Other stories about the days when They were young back on
planet earth
I wish to learn the secrets of those Who lived before me so I program my Computer for a flight
to planet earth
Blue skies over the oceans sail on the Wind to the valley below rise high over The hills to
where the wildflowers grow
And I ride ride ride the waves of time Fly fly fly beyond the sky
We've abandoned all emotions Whether good or bad up here in this Station far from planet earth
I can't tell if I'm happy I don't know if I'm sad but I do know I'd have been at Home back on
planet earth
Black clouds over the debris storm is Raging over the land no life left on this Planet now you
will understand
And I ride ride ride the waves of time Fly fly fly beyond the sky
Blue skies over the oceans sail on the Wind to the valley below rise high over The hills to

In a dusty room on a stormy night Away from all the crowds I rise above The clouds
Into a world once so bright where now The shadows fall and a thousand Voices call
Dream on forevermore our future's in Your hands close your eyes close Your eyes and fantasise
Only one boy whose heart is pure can Save them from the curse that's upon This universe
He's on a quest for the secret cure Across the burning sand to the edge Of the fairy-land
Dream on forevermore our future's in Your hands close your eyes close Your eyes and fantasise
This world was built upon human Dreams on hopes instead of fears now It slowly disappears
Scream as loud as you can scream For the empress needs a name or Nothing will remain
Dream on forevermore our future's in Your hands close your eyes close Your eyes and fantasise

"It is the 6th century. This is where it all began. My tired body has passed away, but my
once-tortured spirit is finally free now. My name is ... Ayreon."
Arjen Lucassen
I've crossed the edge where time disappears
My life has been taken by the charm of the seer
My conscience is clear, I committed no sin
My spirit roams free now, carried by the wind
My mission has failed, the spell has been cast
I wasn't the first one and I won't be the last
This can't be the end, so let it begin
My message will reach you, carried by the wind
Out here on Mars I now realize
Mankind has vanished, tears fill my eyes
There must be a world I can live in

Welcome! You have entered the cranial vistas of psychogenesis. This is the place of no-time and
no-space. Do not be afraid for I am merely the vocal manifestation of your eternal dreams. I am
as water, as air - like breath itself. Do not be afraid.
Look around, but linger not. Where I lead you will follow. Mark these words well. Ignite my
anger with your delay and punishments will come your way.
You are eight souls of the flesh, chosen from different eras ancient and modern. The trivia of
your mortal lives is unimportant to me... Indeed, some may die...
You have a task: to release yourselves from this Web of Wisdom, this knotted Maze of Delirium,

[A. METAMORPHOSIS]
"For the first time during my journey, the Migrator communicates with me. He speaks to me
directly, but without words. The Migrator tells me that my corporeal body inside the
Dream Sequencer has died. While my body will now sleep forever, my conciousness must
awake to eternity that lays before me ... for I am the new Migrator!"
[B. SLEEPER AWAKE]
[Ian Parry, Lana Lane]
Atomically into existence
A creator of life was born
This universal migrator
In his celestial form
Astronomical segmentation
A division from which I came
To go forth with a task bestowed me
And seek out new worlds for all
Fly up into the skies
A sea of blue has crossed thine eyes
A quest to save mankind is made
Just one earthly being his soul shall remain
My power of thought calls you
Sleeper...sleeper awake, oh you sleeper
Open your mind hear me sleeper
Sleeper awake, come alive
Our spirits they can never die
Sleeper...sleeper awake, oh you sleeper
Dormant inside, hear me sleeper
Sleeper awake, come alive
Your body is dead not your mind
A cataclysmic end for many
Annihilated Earth to the core
But one soul survives in stasis
A colonists spirit the source
You're the one not I, the chosen
With visions, a bright new dawn
To cross the starlit systems
A place where new planets are born
Rise up, you must awake
The here and now shall separate
The body frees the soul and mind
Your spirit will join me in time

AYREON UNDERSTANDS THAT HE WAS NOT INDIVIDUALLY CHOSEN
FOR THE 'TIME TELEPATHY EXPERIMENT',
BUT THAT HE UNINTENTIONALLY RECEIVED ITS TRANSMISSIONS.
THIS COULD BE BECAUSE OF A MORE DEVELOPED SIXTH SENSE
AS A RESULT OF HIS BLINDNESS.
HE ALSO REALISES THAT HE CAN NEITHER ACCOMPLISH HIS MISSION,
NOR STOP THE VISIONS FROM PENETRATING HIS MIND.
HIS SOLE ESCAPE IS TO SUBMIT TO THE MAGIC CHARM OF THE GREAT SEER MERLIN.
AYREON:
I've been lost in the valley of nightmares
I've been found in the garden of dreams
speak thy charm, I know you are out there
cast thy spell and silence the screams
but as I poise on the edge of life
where time disappears
I bow in fear
to the charm of the seer
I've seen fear in valiant faces
I've seen hope in desperate eyes
lead me home to familiar places
lead me back to crystalline skies
and as I poise on the edge of life
where time disappears
I bow in fear
to the charm of the seer
I have failed, I have been forsaken
I've been scorned and misunderstood
I have lost, my life has been taken

futureman
from the cities underseas

from the stations on the moon

space beyond space
we are lost here in this cyberworld
is there no way out?

I don't understand your words
they strike as hard as steel
I'm sworn to the sacred quest on the isle of Avalon
to retrieve the magic chalice
which holds the power to heal
only the pure of heart are received into the realm
roman
just look around you now and tell me what you see
a world full of treachery
skies of silver and seas of gold
the past is young and the future old
we're closed in by iron gates
beyond them Elysium waits
far away on the edge of the world in a time beyond time
space beyond space
we are lost here in the underworld
is there no way out?
futureman
from the birthcry of our race
to the mysteries of space
I'm an educated man

It's the calm before the storm
It's the quiet before the war

Darkness's a shroud
2085
All our dreams have disappeared
They burned down... tree of life
Confirming all that we feared

Bob Catley:
Don't give up, remember how we felt
Fire rushing through our veins
Now it's the time to rise up from our hell
Now it's the time to free our brains

The meaning of life is to give life meaning
Go too fast, move too slow.
Restore the balance between thinking and feeling

We are the pain
Complete the Circle!

Shine down on me, Sun of the Underworld
Set me free, chase away the night
Proud Jaguar, king of the Mayan Gods
Shining star, light up the sky
And guide me to the Temple of the Cat
Heart-of-Sky, Maker and Hurricane
Mighty eye, harvester of life
We were born solely to speak your name
Bring the dawn, we'll praise the sky
Here inside the Temple of the Cat
Upon his throne the High priest addressed the crowd
Now carved in stone his holy name
Beads of jade adorn his cotton shroud
His silvery blade on a golden chain
He lies here in the Temple of the Cat, dead
He will rise again from the Temple of the Cat

a new horizon
hear the travellers call
behold there lies a kingdom
go forth ye minstrel tall
sing of your wisdom
spread tidings of joy
a feast of song and laughter
ye courtyard minstrel boy
o'dance thee 'round the table
for conquerors and kings
thou muist win the heart of Gwenhwyfar
fair maiden of the king
thy lord thy master
Arthur thee so bold
heed the words of Ayreon
and thy future will unfold
sing ye tales of wonder
whilst ye hide behind the joy
cast thy spell asunder
ye courtyard minstrel boy
sing ye, oh sing ye, courtyard minstrel boy
a day of splendour
how beautiful birds sing
ladies, lords and masters
and rainbows he would bring
a child's sadness
sweet dreams, oh princely boy
let thyn eyes reveal the madness

"It is the 20th century. I am a little boy peacefully asleep. My father comes to wake me
so that I can witness an historic event in the finite story of mankind."
Edward Reekers, Lana Lane
On an early summer morning, July '69
As I dream of the planets
I hear a voice softly whisper: 'son, it is time
It's happening soon'
It's a quarter to four now and he carries me down
To our place by the telly
I see lights on in houses all over town
For the man on the Moon
One small step for man
But a giant leap for mankind
The mighty Apollo prevailed
The Eagle has landed
I go back to my warm bed, back to my dreams
But not the one of the planets
I decided this morning I don't want to be
The man on the Moon
As I lie here in this cold tank, living a dream
I'm the last on the planets
I decided this morning I don't want to be

Tom Englund:
We have to teach them all that we know
Their evolution moves far too slow
Expand their minds and reject compliance
Upgrade their knowledge, upload our science
Steve Lee:
This revolution will lead to their demise,
We should not make the same mistake twice
We're kept alive by artificial means
We've lost our souls to a world of machines
Jorn Lande: Listen to the warning 8X
Tom Englund:
We need to teach them to fight disease
They seem so helpless and need our expertise
I see them dying all across the globe
Their greatest foe is but a small microbe

The sudden change leads to overpopulation
Shifting the balance, destructive habitation
Killing a live biological invasion
Consuming it by ruthless exploitation
Jorn Lande: Can you see the fire in their eyes?
Bob Catley: Can you hear the anguish in their cries?
Jorn Lande: Can you see the beauty in their eyes?
Bob Catley: Can you sense the love within their hearts?

Bob Catley: I can touch their pain when they feel sad
Jorn Lande: I can smell the fragrance of the air

Don't want to live in a world that's dying
I want to die in a world that's living! 2X

[Hippie]
Hey dude, you're so uncool
But hey, that's alright
Like there's no need to get uptight
My eyes reflect the stars
And a smile lights up my face
We're on an amazing flight in space
It's kinda groovy in this world of fantasy
Where no one else can go
Within these boundaries I'm shielded from reality
Without a care or woe
[Egyptian]
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
In the garden of emotions
Free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
In the garden of emotions
[Hippie]
I roam the universe in cosmic meditation
To find my inner me
I'm getting high on love and spiritual vibrations
To set bad karma free
[Egyptian]
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
In the garden of emotions
Free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
In the garden of emotions
[Hippie]
Mirror mirror I can see a lonely child, he kinda looks like me
Staring out into infinity
His father lies, his mother cries, his spirit flies up in the skies
Wandering off to another galaxy
[Futureman]
Secret fears we all try to hide
Lie dormant deep inside us
Defy the ghosts of long forgotten days
Here inside the mirror maze
[Hippie]
Mirror mirror I can see an angry boy, oh well I guess he's me
Rising up to the society
He's aware that no one cares and life's unfair so he grows his hair
And takes a trip into eternity
[Futureman]
Secret fears we all try to hide
Lie dormant deep inside us
Defy the ghosts of long forgotten days
Here inside the mirror maze

Best Friend Did he open up his eyes?
Did he try to touch my hand
Or is my mind playing tricks on me...
Do you think he hears us cry?
Does he understand
We are here by his side
[Wife] Why are you so concerned?
Do you really care
Or do you feel responsible?
Now the tide has turned
Won't you try to clear the air?

[Instrumental]

"As we continue on our journey, we dive into a black hole -- a spiraling wormhole. As it
sucks us in, time slows and images become distorted. Reality itself twists and bends. We
leave the galaxy where our journey began, headed for the unknown. Where will it take us?"
Fabio Lione, Lana Lane
Hold on tight, we've reached the gate that leads us to the mystic zone
What a sight! I cannot wait to cross the bridge to the unknown
Defy the laws of relativity, gravity will be our guide
Surrender to the sea of energy that drives us to the other side
Faster than light, we're traveling time through the wormhole
Out of the night, into a vortex of fire
Time slips away as we plunge into unknown dimensions
A brilliant display, quenching my deepest desires
Will it take us where we want to be?
Will it show us what we want to see?
Through the wormhole
We're crashing down to our goal that lies beyond this cosmic gate

Ready for the enemy hungry for the battle
Fighting hard for victory in the army of the king
Armed with shield and sword we mounted our horses
Leaving on a sacred quest
On our way to fight the holy war
They attacked from different sides
Hard pressed with numbers
Could not even run nor hide
We had to stand and fight
Then I felt a blade of steel
Penetrate my armor
I did not dream the pain was real
As I went down I knew my time had come
And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light
That seemed to charm him
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death
Into the valley of death
I opened up my weary eyes
The haze slowly lifted
The mighty roar of battlecries
Stopped ringing in my ears
I gazed upon a friendly face
He carried me to safety
I told him of this frightening place
And of my journey back from the other side
And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light
That seemed to charm him
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death
Into the valley of death
And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light
That seemed to charm him
A force so seductive
And yet so destructive and cruel
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death
Into the valley of death
I followed that road to the edge of eternity
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
I fought for my life
For I had to survive the ordeal
And so he gathered all his strength
Not to descend into the valley of death
Into the valley of death

Me Friday night, I had a few
There she was, out of the blue
Thunderstruck, nailed to the floor
I couldn't move, couldn't talk...anymore
Love Of all these guys it's you she desires
Secretly her heart is on fire
Waiting for you to ask her to dance
Go ahead, make your move...now's your chance
Passion Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night
Do it now, do it now, I think you know how
[Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about
Let her in, let her in, let the party begin!
Me There I was, nervous and shy
Struck with awe as I caught her eye
I mustered up courage and walked her way
Figuring out what to do...what to say
Love Her heart sings as she sees you come near
The music fades, the crowd disappears
She weeps in silence as you pass her by
And she's wondering why...oh why
Passion Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night
Do it now, do it now, I think you know how
Pride Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about
Let her in, let her in, let the party begin!
Agony Remember your father, well you're just like him
Nothing but violence and fury within
Remember your mother, so lonely and sad
This will be her fate if you treat her as bad
Fear You're afraid she might turn you down
All your hopes dashed to the ground
Nobody loved you, nobody will
Why should you even try...but still...
Me Friday night, I had a few
Wife There was no need to talk
Me There she was, out of the blue
Wife We just started to walk
Me Hand in hand, we took the floor
Wife And we danced, and we danced, and we danced
Me I could move, I could talk...even more...
Passion Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night
Do it now, do it now, I think you know how
Pride Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about
Let her in, let her in, let the party begin!
Agony Remember your father, well you're just like him
Nothing but violence and fury within
Remember your mother, so lonely and sad
This will be her fate if you treat her as bad
Passion Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night
Do it now, do it now, I think you know how
[Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about
Let her in, let her in, let the party begin!
Agony Remember your father, well you're just like him
Nothing but violence and fury within
Remember your mother, so lonely and sad
This will be her fate if you treat her as bad
Passion Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night
Do it now, do it now, I think you know how
Pride Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about

Agony You're alone in your bedroom
Hiding from the world, staring at the ceiling
Me Mother said 'he'll be home soon'
But he never was, and I knew how she was feeling
Fear You always let him down; 'you'd never be like him'
He'd always break you, never let you win
No matter what you said, he'd always disagree
You swore that one day you would be
better than him...one day you'd win
Agony You're hiding out in the cellar
Aching and ashamed, covering up the bruises
Me And then he would tell her
How I tripped and hurt my head, how I'd always be a loser
Fear You always let him down; 'you'd never be like him'
He'd always break you, never let you win
No matter what you said, he'd always disagree
You swore that one day you would be
better than him...one day you'd win
Agony You're all alone in your bedroom
How could you learn to care, when nobody cares for you
Me Mother said he'd be home soon

"Finally we are approaching our own familiar solar system. But there is something wrong.
Reality begins to break through the illusion. I have an unsettling premonition that even
here inside my virtual journey I will never reach the Earth..."

A. PLANET OF BLUE
I can feel the sun burning on my skin
I can feel the sun from deep within
I can hear the earth calling out my name
I can hear the earth crying out in pain
I'm coming home to the planet of blue
Our own sun is coming into view
I'm reaching out to the planet of blue
Can you see me fly?
Can you feel me die?
I can almost touch the glorious rings of Saturn
But then I feel them slip away
I can almost see the yellow clouds of Venus
But then the sequence slowly fades
I'm coming home to the planet of blue
Is this the end, can it be true?
I'm reaching out to the planet of blue
Can you see me try?
Can you feel me die?
