Ayreon

Male

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

The moon sheds no light on Salisbury plain The day turns to night and the bonfires cease burning The druids gather round and the chants fill the air Their echoes resound and the living world stops turning The magic words are spoken As we leave the plain in silence Now the circle stands alone And the druids turn to stone The dawn shines its light on Salisbury plain The day floods the night with gilded rays of sunshine The magic words were spoken As we left the plain in silence Then the circle stood alone And the druids turned to stone The rising sun is dancing on the edges of the stones Casting shadows, creeping down the Avenue Into the heart of the sarsen trilithons I marvel at this mystery, beholder of the stars A holy temple, a sacred burial ground Guarding well its secrets from us all

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
