Текст песни:

"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
Before I start my voyage to the stars

Текст песни:

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

Припев:
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

Припев:
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

Текст песни:

Best Friend:
Let me take you back
To the time when we were chasing all the girls
Two maniacs
indulging in the pleasures of this world

So much to see, so much to live for
Questions to answer, places to go
So much to be, so much to care for
Deep down inside I think you know
You are free…come back to me!

Look ahead and see
There are still so many borders we could cross
Just you and me
Making up for all the time that we have lost

Best Friend: So much to see
Me: He may be right
Best Friend: so much to live for
Me: I’ve got to fight
Best Friend: Questions to answer
Me: I will pull through
Best Friend: places to go
Me: take me with you
Best Friend: So much to be
Me: I will not break
Best Friend: so much to care for
Me: I must awake
Best Friend: Deep down inside I think you know
Me: I think I know
Best Friend: You are free
Me: I am free
Best Friend: Come back to me!
Best Friend: Aaaah, aaaah come back to me
Me: There’s no way out, my whole world is black!
Best Friend: Aaaah, aaaah come back to me
Me: I try to shout, something’s holding me back!

Текст песни:

"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."

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
Out of the past

Текст песни:

[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]

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

Sleeper awake there′s a world waiting for you to find!

Текст песни:

He′s a stranger I don′t know Where he′s coming from
Is he a danger to me or just Another man
He knows magic or maybe He′s a charlatan
Is it a sly trick he plays does He have a plan

He said he came from a World beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he′d burn like star And disappear
But leave his spirit behind

He′s a stranger a man with a Destiny
A rearranger of fate a Changer of lives
They will erase him for they Are all afraid of him
They′re gonna trace him and Then cause him to die

He said he′d cure me I do Not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he′d always be there Everytime I′d cry
One day I would understand

He was a stranger they shot Him and now he′s dead
I′m out of danger he lives on Inside my head

He said he came from a World beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he′d burn like star And disappear
But leave his spirit behind

He said he′d cure me I do Not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he′d always be there Everytime I′d cry
One day I would understand

Текст песни:

[Anneke:]
no need to feel the pain
no need to feel betrayed
no need to feel inane
no need to feel afraid

[Jorn Land:]
wake me up before i die, hold me close
As I gaze upon to the sky, comatose
No reason to survive, I suppose
Wake us up before we die

[Anneke:]
no need to feel desire

[Jorn Land:]
But I need you with me

[Anneke:]
no need to feel so small

[Jorn Land:]
But I need to feel secure

[Anneke:]
no need to feel afar

[Jorn Land:]
But I need you feel free

[Anneke:]
no need to feel at all

[Jorn Land:]
But I need to know for sure

[Jorn Land:]
wake me up before i die, hold me close
As I gaze upon the sky, comatose
No reason to survive, I suppose
Wake us up before we die

Текст песни:

Lost in a world created by Man
I can′t recall how it all began
Tell me who am I?

Fictional stars in lost Galaxies
Synthetic dreams and false Memories
Is it all a lie?

There is no escape
There is no way out of here
I′m locked in this universe
The real world will disappear
Where fantasy dies
You will see our dreams
Material lies
Materialize
Computer eyes
Computerize

Virtual reality - computer Override
Actual fantasy locked away Inside
Am I no more than a Program
An artificial dream
A river of electrons flowing With the stream
A parallel dimension battle Simulations
Mind over matter brain Stimulation
I don′t know if I exist I think Therefore I am
Without emotions I′m but a Hologram
There′s no escape I′m locked In this universe
Where fantasy dies material Lies
Computer eyes

There is no escape
There is no way out of here
I′m locked in this universe
The real world will disappear
Where fantasy dies
You will see our dreams
Material lies
Materialize
Computer eyes
Computerize

Текст песни:

Father:
Look at you, lying there, defenceless and alone
See I′m 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, coz me? I never fail, loser!
Rage:
NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
Killing it from afar, go tell it in a bar
You′re killing it from afar my father!

Текст песни:

[A. LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN]

[highlander]
what heathen place is this that I′ve arrived in
is now the time I pay for all my sins
I can′t believe that this is God′s creation
this realm was fashioned by the Deil′s ane hand

[indian (chorus)]
no it has been foretold, in our legends of old
wake the spirit within, let the journey begin

[highlander]
this quest you speak of is for redemption
how can we travel when our souls are lost
you think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation
when I can only sense the end is here

[indian (chorus)]

[knight]
we′re at the gates of Avalon, the island of spirits,
we′re at the gates of Avalon, in search of the grail

[B. THE HALL OF ISIS AND OSIRIS]

[roman]
there′s no way out, slaves for eternity
down in the underworld, the jaws of Orcus
I call on Jupiter, the ruler of the gods
show us the way, from damnation to salvation

[egyptian (chorus)]
the fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all
rejoice! the judges have ruled
we have been chosen to enter the great hall
of Isis and Osiris

[roman]
no you′re wrong, we′re trapped here in darkness
among departed souls, and mislaid spirits
I call on Mars, the ancient god of war
grant me the power, to free me from this evil

[egyptian (chorus)]

[C. STRANGE CONSTELLATIONS]

[highlander]
can you see the stars? can you recognize the constellations?
if I could only see the hills that we′re supposed to climb
even the sunlight.....it doesn′t
warm.....doesn′t wam
how are we gonna find our way?
if we can′t recognize the stars, if we can′t recognize the constellations
where do we go?

[D. REPRISE]

[highlander]
the quest you speak of, it isn′t bound for glory
no grail exists within this heathen land
you think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation
when I can only sense...the end is near

MERLIN GRANTS AYREON HIS LAST REQUEST:
TO EXPERIENCE ONE LAST BRIEF MOMENT OF SERENITY.
FLASHES OF HIS PAST LIFE PASS BEFORE HIS EYES.

@ Ayreon

Текст песни:

Last night I had that dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
Mr L, did you take your meds?

I sang about these dreams
Warning man of his demise
Wasted words that no one heard
Won′t you please relax? I′ll make your bed

Today I had that dream again
I roamed among the stars
On the wings of an amazing flight
Mr L, do you feel OK?

To a place beyond our time
Where the sunlight doesn′t warm
And colour bleeds into the night
We may have to increase your dose today

I know the truth is out there
Didn′t you want to see?
I know the truth is in here
Why should we believe you?
Didn′t you want to flee

Now I have that dream again
I live beneath the waves
In a ground of grace and majesty
Mr L can I ease your mind
In the distant shadows loom
Cold machines rise from the deep
In a world once proud and free
Would you free your thoughts, let it all abide

I hate to have that dream again
They live inside my head
Feeling everything I feel inside
Mr L can you please be still?

They speak to me in dreams
They can see all I can see
They have always been my guide
Gotta hush now, please have another pill

I know the truth is out there
Why should we believe you?
Didn′t you want to see
I know the truth is here
Why should we deceive you?
Didn′t you want to feel?

We are all alone
There′s no one there
You don′t have to be afraid

Can′t you see through this masquerade?
We are all alone
We are all clones
There′s no one there
I am so scared
You don′t have to be afraid

Last night I had that dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
Mr L, would you take your rest?

They speak to me in dreams
They could see all I can see
They have always been my guide
Won′t you please relax? I′ll make your bed

I know the truth is out there
Why should we believe you?
Didn′t you want to see
Why should we deceive you?
I know the truth is in here
Why should we believe you?
Didn′t you want to feel?

Текст песни:

[Simone Simons]:
Dear PX, I feel you are the one
What′s your name? Where are you from?
I′m in love, though we never met
Looking for clues, I search the net

Dear PX, I′m waiting for your name
Check every hour, to no avail
Been up all night, couldn′t get to sleep
No way out, I′m in too deep

Dear PX, It′s been 11 days
I′m kind of lost within the maze
Are you there? Give me but a sign
Are you at home? Are you on-line?

[Phideaux Xavier]:
Dear Simone, I′m sorry for the wait
I′ve seen your pics, you′re looking great
I′m all alone, dying for a date
I think we match, it must be fate

[Simone Simons]:
Dear oh well, I feel you are the one
what′s your name? where are you from?
I′m in love, though we never met
Looking for clues, I search the net

Текст песни:

AYREON DESCRIBES A DISTANT FUTURE IN WHICH TECHNOLOGY TRIUMPHS OVER PASSION,
AND ′SERVING′ COMPUTERS WILL GRADYALLY GAIN CONTROL OVER MANKIND.

[AYREON:]
I see a future cold as ice
where all the love has gone
I see a race that pays the price
for everything it′s done

I see shadows of giant machines
cast upon the land
I see a world where kings nor queens
but chips are in command

COMPUTER...COMPUTER...COMPUTER...
COMPUTER-REIGN

now the end has just begun
technology has won
and it cannot be undone
there will be nowhere to run
now the damage has been done

GAME OVER! GAME OVER!

I see a game gone out of hand
and memories erased
I see a programmed masterplan
and man will be replaced

I see a planet die in space
and slowly fade away
I see the end of the human race
there has to be a way

Текст песни:

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

CHORUS: Fear

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
But he never came, as for me…he didn’t have to…

Текст песни:

Once a world, endless and free
Horizons unbroken
Now a world of bounded frontiers
The elders have spoken (our home)

Once a world, eternal and blue
Floating, escaping
Now a world that′s blinding my view
Shadows shaping (our home)

[Chorus:]
Liquid eternity crosses through our veins
Liquid eternity nourishes our brains
Liquid eternity, a world that does not live
Liquid eternity, a life that does not yield

Once a world of fear and dismay
Of fleeing and hiding
Now a world that′s peaceful and safe
So caring and providing, our home...

[Chorus]

Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had
Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead
Would you prefer to live the life we′ve learned to dread
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead (our home)

I′m losing my reason to live
The essence of life

But the system′s got so much to give
Or would you rather die...

I′m losing my pride and my joy
My will to believe

Why would you come back and destroy
What we have achieved

[Chorus]

Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had
Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead
Would you prefer to live the life we′ve loved to play
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead

[Chorus]

Would you prefer the pain and suffering we had
Would you prefer to be in peril, even dead
Would you prefer to live the life we′ve loved to play
Would you prefer to live a mortal life instead (our home)
