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.
