[A. The premonition]
Let us go back to 'The Dark Ages'.
"A strange sensation comes over Ayreon
As if something mysterious is about to occur."
[B. Dreamtime (words become a song)]
"Suddenly a vision emerges in Ayreon's ever-black world
And he finds himself singing about the horrid projections
Etched into his brain.
[Ayreon:]
A cry in the silence,
A shine in the dark.
Like a rising star
The dream is coming.
Images of violence,
A flight through time and space,
It's such a lonely place,
The dream has started
The smoke is rising,
The vision's getting clearer,
And words become a song
In the dreamtime.
I've lost control
Marooned and cold.
I suffer the fears
Of a future untold.
I cannot change
The shape of things to come.
The smoke is rising,
The vision's getting clearer
And words become a song
In the dreamtime.
The smoke is rising,
The vision's getting clearer,
The hands of time are whirling around.
I'm realising
The future's getting nearer
And words become a song.
[C. The awakening]
"Abruptly the vision ends and Ayreon recedes into his darkness."
