SOMEHOW AYREON SENSES THAT HIS FATE IS UPON HIM,
|
AND HE IMPLORES,
|
NO HE COMMANDS HIS FUTURE TORMENTORS
|
TO GRANT HIM ONE LAST MOMENT OF SPLENDOUR IN PLACE OF ALL THE MISERY
|
THAT HAUNTS HIS MIND. BUT NO ONE HEARS HIS PLEA...
|
|
[AYREON:]
|
I sense a fear
|
deep inside
|
the end is near
|
I cannot hide
|
blood is spilt
|
my quest is unfulfilled
|
|
there's still so much
|
I long to see
|
I need to touch
|
I wish to be
|
I can't believe
|
this is all I can achieve
|
|
hark me now and let me go
|
to far-away lands and distant shores
|
an angel at my side
|
no evil plans or future wars
|
take me high on a magic ride
|
|
did you ever care
|
how I could feel
|
as you dreamt up
|
this one-way deal
|
my lords of time
|
don't you understand
|
|
my life's been rough
|
I was born to lose
|
I've had enough
|
of them future-blues
|
grant my wish
|
my wish is your command
|
|
THE GREAT MERLIN, ARTHUR'S MAGICIAN AND PROPHET,
|
HAS OBSERVED AYREON'S ENDEAVOURS ARGUS-EYED,
|
BUT NOW HE BELIEVES THE MOMENT HAS COME FOR HIM TO INTERVENE.
