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!

“The Big Bang has created one soul, the Universal Migrator. The Universal Migrator
divides itself, and each Migrator flies off independently in search of a habitable planet
in order to breathe life into it. I follow the migrator that will eventually reach our
planet Earth.”
Russel Allen, Damian Wilson
At the birth of time, the beginning of beginnings
One cosmic soul was created
A bringer of life, a universal migrator
Born to sow its seeds in all the galaxies
Like a cell dividing, it spreads Read more…
Beneath The Waves
Daniel Gindelow:
The water breaks the golden sunrays
Silver dances on the wave
But a memory…
I often dream about the old days
Playing hide and seek within the caves
But a memory…
Bob Catley:
I still feel the rising tides embrace me
Carrying me to a place unknown
But a memory…
I remember all the love they gave me
In this fluid world we call our home
But a memory…
Anneke van Giersbergen, Floor Jansen: Beneath the waves we were invincible
Floor Jansen: In a world without frontiers

“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 Read more…
“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 Read more…
1. Echoes On The Wind
Tom Englund:
It’s the calm before the storm
It’s the quiet before the war
It’s the time when all will be decided.

Tom Englund: It’s the end of the chain
Steve Lee: Destruction of the fittest

Steve Lee:] We’ve seen it all before

Steve Lee: The end of evolution
Tom Englund: For Read more…
A. Eyes of time
IT SLOWLY DAWNS ON AYREON THAT THESE VISIONS HE IS EXPERIENCING
ARE VISIONS OF THE FUTURE BUT HE DOES NOT FULLY COMPREHEND
THEIR IMPORTANCE YET.
AYREON:
I cannot see with these eyes
my world is dark
like a cold eternal night
I could not tell you no lies
my words are lost
in a shroud of mysery
VILLAGERS:
tell me what you see
[AYREON:]
I cannot tell you now
I see the world through the eyes of time
VILLAGERS:
tell me what you feel
AYREON:
I wouldn’t know how
I cannot free Read more…
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?
Let your conscience be your guide…

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 Read more…
