"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

My Spirit Will Find It, Carried By The Wind
