[AYREON:] I've been lost in the valley of nightmares I've been found in the garden of dreams Speak thy charm, I know you are out there Cast thy spell and silence the screams But as I poise on the edge of life Where time disappears I bow in fear To the charm of the seer I've seen fear in valiant faces I've seen hope in desperate eyes Lead me home to familiar places Lead me back to crystalline skies And as I poise on the edge of life Where time disappears I bow in fear To the charm of the seer I have failed, I have been forsaken I've been scorned and misunderstood I have lost, my life has been taken I'd surrender if only I could

I can smell the grass, and touch the flowers. Among the trees, I pass the hours and fantasize. I let the dance of nature inspire me. Now my mind is free from apparitions. I switch off like a 'television', and close my eyes. And I wish that I could see like everybody can... How I wish that I could be like any other man... I can't see the sun, but I sense its glow. I hear the sound of water flowing down the stream. And my heart cries out for a little bit o' love. But I know that it was not meant to be. So I fulfill my destiny and accept my fate. Still I wish that I could see like everybody can... (Like everybody can...) How I wish that I could be like any other man...

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 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?
