[A. The premonition]
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 s***e
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
the smoke is rising
the vision's getting clearer
and words become a song
in the dreamtime
[C. The awakening]
ABRUPTLY THE VISION ENDS AND AYREON RECEDES INTO HIS DARKNESS.
