"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
