[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 mystery
[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 my mind
From the eyes of time
I do not know where I am
I'm lost in
time
Drifting in eternity
I cannot tell if it's real
Or fantasy
Or a view of things to come
[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 my mind
From the eyes of time
I'm still trying to understand
Why do
I see the things I see
Could it be a future world
That's warning us through me
I'm still trying to understand
Why do I know
the things I know
Does it mean I'm a god
Will nobody tell me so?
[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 my mind
From the eyes of time
[B. Brainwaves]
IT ALL GETS TOO CONFUSING FOR AYREON AND THE THIN LINE
BETWEEN
ILLUSION AND REALITY FADES.
