Ayreon retires in the garden of dreams surrounding camelot,
enjoys the wonders of nature and reflects on his fate.
he now fully understands, and reluctantly submits to his destiny.
[ayreon:]
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 love
but i know that it was not meant to be
so i'll fulfil my destiny
and accept my fate
still i wish that i could see
like everybody can
how i wish that i could be
like any other man
the time has come for ayreon to set about his mission.
he sings about three main causes of the earth's eventual destruction.
