歌词
Act I: The Dawning (Part III)
I. A New Dawn
(Instrumental)
"The perceptable tension is hovering,
above Ayreon's hometown.
Something is at hand!"
II. The Gathering
(Instrumental)
"The town people gather,
on the market square to judge of Ayreon.
Is he a prophet or a charlatan, or even worse:
An apparition unholy?"
III. The Accusation
"The villagers accuse Ayreon of being the Devil's spawn,
but Ayreon persists in his innocence."
Villagers:
Have you seen his eyes,
up in the skies,
like hypnotized.
And he never smiles,
he never cries.
Have you heard his song,
fierce and strong,
right or wrong?
Should he be condemned,
for he doesn't belong.
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've aroused,
the forces of destruction.
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've unleashed,
the rage of the Gods!
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've denounced,
the wonder of creation.
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've betrayed your own,
now you have to pay.
It has been foretold,
in days of old.
An evil soul,
will corrupt the world,
to achieve his goal.
He's the Devil's seed,
an evil breed,
he's gonna make you bleed.
He'll take all he needs,
with uncontrollable greed.
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've aroused,
the forces of destruction.
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've unleashed,
the rage of the Gods!
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've denounced,
the wonder of creation.
Ayreon:
What have I done?
Villagers:
You've betrayed your own,
now you have to pay.
You have to pay!
Ayreon:
I've done nothing at all,
no nothing at all!
IV. The Banishment
(Instrumental)
"With sticks and torches in hand,
the angry villagers drive Ayreon out of their demesne."
V. Oblivion
Completely exhausted,
Ayreon roams through the forest,
only an indistinct sense of accomplishment sustains him."
Ayreon:
If I have died,
then this must be Hell.
if I'm alive,
I cannot break this gruesome spell.
I am seeking relief,
and finding none.
I have fallen,
into oblivion.
A force within,
dominates my tormented soul,
and empowers me,
to regain absolute control.
I shall not yield,
for I am the chosen one,
who shall rise from oblivion.
