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...

(Clock ticking)
