Ayreon
"Ayreon's Fate"

AYREON (LEON GOEWIE):
Misguided Merlin,
You fail to understand,
I could never be your rival.
I was just a pawn,
In a future masterplan,
For the purpose of survival!

MERLIN (ROBERT SOETERBOEK):
Ayreon!
I've cast my spell upon you!
I have no faith, you cannot be true!

WOMEN: Ayreon!

AYREON:
I forgive you, Merlin,
For you don't know what you've done,
Even for you, it was all a mystery.
One day you'll see,
That I was the one,
Who could change the course of history!

MERLIN:
Ayreon!
Your words are all in vain!
Close your eyes, there'll be no more pain!

WOMEN: Oh Ayreon...

MERLIN:
(ROBERT SOETERBOEK):
Mmm!
I see one day,
His story will be told,
At the end of the 20th century, ohhhh!
(IAN PARRY):
I see one day,
The truth will unfold!
(MIRJAM VAN DOORN):
Ohhh!
And the quest has now begun!
Oh, Ayreon!

(JAY VAN FEGGELEN):
I hope one day,
That man will understand,
It's in his power to change his destiny!
(LEON GOEWIE):
I hope one day,
He'll do all that he can!
(DEBBY SCHREUDER)
Ohhh!
And all the nations will be one!
Oh Ayreon! Yeah!

WOMEN (SCHREUDER & VAN DOORN): Now the end has just begun!
AYREON (EDWARD REEKERS): And words become a song!
VILLAGERS (SCHREUDER & VAN DOORN): Tell me what you feel!
AYREON (ARJEN LUCASSEN):
The seas are red, the skies are grim...
Listen to the waves...

MERLIN (EDWARD REEKERS):
The outcome of 'The Final Experiment' has
now been placed in your hands...
