1. INTRO 2. SPELLBOUND I’m ready With my eyes open wide Living to devour all this light Soon, as every sun has faded You cannot turn away Follow my voice and feel the pull I’m ready As I’ve never been before Your need to give in Grows ever stronger Rest assured I will not leave you Until your world is mine Come closer to me and let go 3. PASSION A dangerous stream of passion Flows through my veins Infecting my mind with madness Blurring my senses My fingers crawl like spiders Caressing the wall In desperate need of screaming For a way out This feeling’s rushing through me, and again I’m willing to surrender To the violent notes that spin around I’d give it up for you This feeling’s clinging to me, and again I’m willing to surrender I could lose my breath, but even then I’d give it up for you A dangerous stream of passion Flows through my heart The melodies sung in secret Tear me apart Emotions fade into music And drift through the night, Determined to wander freely Forever more 4. WARACLE ayreon sings of the uselessness of the countless wars to come, and the absurdity of the final annihilation by the push of just one button by just one man. [ayreon:] echoes of a thousand screams smoke, blood and fire a deserted battlefield millions of men will die at one man's desire and the docile mass will yield all through the ages men will die before their time in an everlasting war as long as man is taught that war is not a crime man will fight for evermore out of the ashes a war-lord will arise and tyrannize the land his reign of terror will cost many a sacrifice an inferno is at hand all through the centuries men will be caged in the name of liberty as long as man shall live wars will be waged or will we ever be set free? set me free! the road to ruin gets shorter all the time as technology will improve it takes but one man to commit the ultimate crime and make the final move 5. WHEREVER YOU ARE I believe that this game is far from over Your eyes, everchanging Shred my beliefs Elusive as air, your million faces Share a smile, shed a tear Then you’re hiding again Wherever you are, I’ll find you And leave my life behind Wherever you are, I’ll find you I’m leaving now Every moment of faith Flows unattended Pressing thoughts so misleading Into my head Come out of the dark Don’t keep me waiting For the pain is too deep... Hear me! Come out! Free me! 6. COMPUTER EYES Lost in a world created by Man I can't recall how it all began Tell me who am I? Fictional stars in lost Galaxies Synthetic dreams and false Memories Is it all a lie? There is no escape There is no way out of here I'm locked in this universe The real world will disappear Where fantasy dies You will see our dreams Material lies Materialize Computer eyes Computerize Virtual reality - computer Override Actual fantasy locked away Inside Am I no more than a Program An artificial dream A river of electrons flowing With the stream A parallel dimension battle Simulations Mind over matter brain Stimulation I don't know if I exist I think Therefore I am Without emotions I'm but a Hologram There's no escape I'm locked In this universe Where fantasy dies material Lies Computer eyes There is no escape There is no way out of here I'm locked in this universe The real world will disappear Where fantasy dies You will see our dreams Material lies Materialize Computer eyes Computerize 7. CALLIOPEIA Let the evening air in And dim the lights Reality’s fading As our minds fly A heavenly glow... The muse has spoken The grace of her song... Calliopeia Every hour, every day My search goes on My precious memories Are all I have left I gave my soul away For a dream, for an illusion Who will lead me now? Drowning in tears, I turn to you 8. VALLEY OF THE QUEENS [egyptian:] my journey's over I'm standing on the edge and close my eyes to this world of lies my will is broken it's the end of all my dreams my soul yearns for the valley of the queens my rose has withered it will never bloom again the soil is dry time has come to die my faith has left me they've stolen all my dreams oh lay me down in the valley of the queens my search has ended my name is carved in stone on the temple wall beyond Osiris hall no holy sunrays will light my tomb of dreams I won't return from the valley of............the queens 9. HAUNTED Dias enteros Caminando en silencio Apuro mis pasos Para dejar todo atràs Busco en la soledad El espacio para olvidar Esa voz que me atormenta (Entire days I spend walking in silence I hurry my steps to leave everything behind In solitude I search for a space To forget that voice that haunts me) I live in fear When the shadows reappear Unleashing all their might I never thought I’d face the demons on my own Make it stop! Haunted, hunted Un suspiro que penetra mi alma Un pensamiento constante e hiriente Sé que estás ahi, aunque no puedo verte, Nunca he podido escapar Del yugo de tus ojos (A whisper that digs into my soul, a constant and upsetting thought I know you’re there, even though I can’t see you I was never able to escape from Your cruel eyes) With every breath I take My heart beats faster No matter how hard I try to unwind Tears keep falling from my eyes Haunted, hunted I’m down on my knees Forever I’ll mourn The loss of my innocence 10. THE CHARM OF THE SEER ayreon understands that he was not individually chosen for the 'time telepathy experiment', but that he unintentionally received its transmissions. this could be because of a more developed sixth sense as a result of his blindness. he also realises that he can neither accomplish his mission, nor stop the visions from penetrating his mind. his sole escape is to submit to the magic charm of the great seer merlin. [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 11. DECEIVER - SONGS OF THE OCEAN For long I have been hiding And all the pain I hold within Sends shivers down my spine For long I have been waiting For a reason to arise Was it all a waste of time? I am not who you think I am, Soon I’ll be letting you down I am not who you think I am I’m everywhere You think I have been lying, There are secrets That lie frozen in my silent stare If you go through my fears You will see I’ve lost control All the faith I had is gone Step back, Watch me closely As my crimson wings unfold You’ll see me as I am I know, it won’t be easy But in the end you’ll understand My instinctive need to fly 12. DAY ONE: VIGIL [Best Friend:] Did he open up his eyes? Did he try to touch my hand Or is my mind playing tricks on me... Do you think he hears us cry? Does he understand We are here by his side [Wife:] Why are you so concerned? Do you really care Or do you feel responsible? Now the tide has turned Won't you try to clear the air? Let your conscience be your guide... 13. DAY THREE: PAIN [Agony:] I am pain I am real. I'm not a dream I'm the chain around your neck as you scream Surrender now You can't beat death at his ruthless game Make your bow Hang your head in shame [Me:] I can't believe there is no way out... [Agony:] You'll find you are wrong [Me:] You fill me with doubt... [Agony:] You were never that strong [Agony:] I am pain I am the wound that never heals It's all in vain No compromise, no deals... [Me:] I can't believe this is the end [Agony:] It's written in stone [Me:] Where are my friends? [Agony:] You have always been alone! [Rage:] (Pain!) We lead We hide as the pain leaves the rage inside (Motion personified alpha) Being here, welcomed by...a sane mind A travelled lie [Agony:] I am pain I am the end, I am your wraith Nothing remains I'm the loss of hope and faith [Me:] I can't believe there is no way out... [Agony:] You'll I find you are wrong [Me:] You fill me with doubt... [Agony:] You were never that strong [Rage:] We lead, we hide as the pain leaves the rage inside (Motion personified alpha) Being here, welcomed by...a sane mind A travelled lie All the time, I had waited with rage All the time, I was promised my salvation [Love:] I can't accept this, we will find a way Out of this cesspool of doom and dismay Beyond this dejection there's beauty and grace A glorious future we long to embrace [Rage:] (Pain!) All the time, I have waited with rage (Motion personified alpha) All the time, I was promised my salvation 14. NOSTALGIA Con la vista sobre el mar Busca entre las olas una señal Algo que le ayude a olvidar La verdad Toda una vida de lágrimas Cede a la locura y luego calla Por amor a un dia Que jamás volverá Cuando la rosa muera Calmará sus ansias en letras vanas Por amor a un dia Que jamás volverá (With her eyes fixed on the sea She looks for a sign among the waves Something to make her forget the truth An entire life filled with tears She surrenders to madness, then goes quiet For the love of a day That will never come back When the rose dies She’ll find peace in those useless words For the love of a day That will never come back) 15. OUT IN THE REAL WORLD I’ve hidden wishes for so long Buried deep inside, Keeping them secret from a world That’ll never realize The way I dream "Puedo ver esos ríos de luz Escapar de mi piel, hacia la fantasía" Out the real world You are waiting to take my hand I’ll be looking for answer That leads me back I lack the will to face my fears I’m running from it all And all the painful memories They haunt me once again I’m giving up... Out in the real world You are waiting to hear my call, Through a river of illusions You saw me fall Out in the real world You are waiting to take my hand I’ll be looking for answer That leads me back Outside, back in your arms No matter how hard it may seem We should never hide The little things that make us real Show them who we truly are We will in time "Puedo ver esos ríos de luz Escapar de mi piel, hacia la fantasía Hay en mi tanto temor Tanto mal que ocultar " (I can see rivers of light Flowing from my skin and toward fantasy There’s so much fear within me So many faults to hide) 16. THE CASTLE HALL At last! You enter the Electric Castle! Here in this vast hall where even shadows fear the light - here you must confront your past. If you have killed, beware of the Gathering of Spirits for they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World becomes flesh once more. I pity the men of swords. For here blood runs cold... [barbarian:] cries from the grave resound in my ears they hail from beyond my darkest fears faces of the past are etched in my brain the women I raped, the men I've slain shades of the dead are sliding on the wall demons dance in the castle hall [knight:] I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur grant me the skill to fulfill my quest I call upon my king and the knights of the table round grant me the courage to stand to this test I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer grant me the magic to end my pain I call upon the spirit that lives in a noble heart grant me the passion that's within my veins shades of the dead are sliding on the wall demons dance in the castle hall [repeat hall] 17. INTO THE BLACK HOLE We have reached our first destination: the black hole in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. But what will we find inside? Its power is immeasurable. Our hopes and fears intermingle as we stand at the event horizon. Will its doorway transport us to our faraway planet Earth, or will its fury mercilessly tear us apart? [Bruce Dickinson, Lana Lane] [A. THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE] A dark sphere surrounds us Surreal...oblivious... In the centre of the galaxy A hidden force has found us Powerful...mysterious... At the boundary of eternity Nothing escapes, not even light Beyond the mystical horizon We surrender to its might Gazing into the eye of the universe A deep roar is sounding Deafening...thunderous... As if the universe were crying My heart is pounding Frantic...delirious... My every nerve is dying [B. HALO OF DARKNESS] I hear screams of fallen souls, sad cries of agony Within the void of this evil hole, deep inside the black Could it be my imagination, the mirror of my fantasy? A fear-induced hallucination Or is there no way back from the halo of darkness? Spirits - apparitions - misery - suffering Horrid dreams and dire visions rising up from the black Look away in disbelief, this cannot be happening The end has come, I bow in grief There is no way back from the halo of darkness [C. THE FINAL DOOR] Now silence devours us Massive...suffocating... The calm before the storm Gravity overpowers us Invincible...dominating... And leads us through the final door Feed me light, I'm the halo of darkness Feel my might, I'm the eye of the universe 18. WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS [Led Zeppelin cover] If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [x2] When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, [x2] Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well. Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home, You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They go no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned, [x2] Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home. Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you... Going down... going down now... going down.... 19. DAY ELEVEN: LOVE [Me:] Friday night, I had a few There she was, out of the blue Thunderstruck, nailed to the floor I couldn't move, couldn't talk...anymore [Love:] Of all these guys it's you she desires Secretly her heart is on fire Waiting for you to ask her to dance Go ahead, make your move...now's your chance [Passion:] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Me:] There I was, nervous and shy Struck with awe as I caught her eye I mustered up courage and walked her way Figuring out what to do...what to say [Love:] Her heart sings as she sees you come near The music fades, the crowd disappears She weeps in silence as you pass her by And she's wondering why...oh why [Passion:] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Agony:] Remember your father, well you're just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Fear:] You're afraid she might turn you down All your hopes dashed to the ground Nobody loved you, nobody will Why should you even try...but still... [Me:] Friday night, I had a few [Wife:] There was no need to talk [Me:] There she was, out of the blue [Wife:] We just started to walk [Me:] Hand in hand, we took the floor [Wife:] And we danced, and we danced, and we danced [Me:] I could move, I could talk...even more...

[Agony:] Remember your father, well you're just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Passion:] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride:] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! lyrics added by Neoryo - Modify this lyrics
