Ayreon - Eyes Of Time

[A. Eyes of time]

"It slowly dawns on Ayreon that
These visions he is experiencing
Are visions of the future
But he does not fully comprehend
Their importance yet."

[Ayreon:]
I cannot see with these eyes,
My world is dark
Like a cold eternal night.

I could not tell you no lies,
My words are lost
In a shroud of mystery.

[Villagers:]
Tell me what you see!

[Ayreon:]
I cannot tell you now,
I see the world through the eyes of time!

[Villagers:]
Tell me what you feel!

[Ayreon:]
I wouldn't know how!
I cannot free my mind
From the eyes of time!

I do not know where I am.
I'm lost in time
Drifting in eternity.

I cannot tell if it's real
Or fantasy
Or a view of things to come.

I'm still trying to understand
Why do I see the things I see.
Could it be a future world
That's warning us through me?
I'm still trying to understand
Why do I know the things I know
Does it mean I'm a god?
Will nobody tell me so?

[B. Brainwaves]

"It all gets too confusing for Ayreon
And the thin line between Illusion and reality fades."
