«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.»
