Ayreon : The Stranger from Within
Lyrics
1. THE STRANGER FROM WITHIN (SINGLE VERSION)
He's a stranger I don't know Where he's coming from
Is he a danger to me or just Another man
He knows magic or maybe He's a charlatan
Is it a sly trick he plays does He have a plan
He said he came from a World beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he'd burn like star And disappear
But leave his spirit behind
He's a stranger a man with a Destiny
A rearranger of fate a Changer of lives
They will erase him for they Are all afraid of him
They're gonna trace him and Then cause him to die
He said he'd cure me I do Not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he'd always be there Everytime I'd cry
One day I would understand
He was a stranger they shot Him and now he's dead
I'm out of danger he lives on Inside my head
He said he came from a World beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he'd burn like star And disappear
But leave his spirit behind
He said he'd cure me I do Not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he'd always be there Everytime I'd cry
One day I would understand
2. THE DAWN OF MAN
More than a million years ago it came
To earth out of the sky from whence it Came is still
unknown and still we Don't know why
Way beyond infinity where time is lost
And life has ceased to be there's a Cosmic entity a
bringer of life for all
Eternity is this how it all began? the Dawn of man
More than a million miles from earth Somewhere in outer space behold a Planetary birth making
way for a brand New race
3. THE STRANGER FROM WITHIN (LONG VERSION)
He's a stranger I don't know Where he's coming from
Is he a danger to me or just Another man
He knows magic or maybe He's a charlatan
Is it a sly trick he plays does He have a plan
He said he came from a World beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind
He said he'd burn like star And disappear
But leave his spirit behind
He's a stranger a man with a Destiny
A rearranger of fate a Changer of lives
They will erase him for they Are all afraid of him
They're gonna trace him and Then cause him to die
He said he'd cure me I do Not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands
He said he'd always be there Everytime I'd cry
