Carried by the Wind

"It is the 6th century. This is where it all began. My tired body has passed away, but my once-tortured spirit is finally free now. My name is ... Ayreon." [Arjen Lucassen]

I've crossed the edge where time disappears

My life has been taken by the charm of the seer

My conscience is clear,

I committed no sin

My spirit roams free now, carried by the wind

My mission has failed, the spell has been cast

I wasn't the first one and

I won't be the last

This can't be the end, so let it begin

My message will reach you, carried by the wind

Out here on

Mars I now realize

Mankind has vanished, tears fill my eyes

There must be a world

I can live in

My spirit will find it, carried by the wind
