Ayreon retires in the garden of dreams surrounding Camelot
Enjoys the wonders of nature and reflects on his fate
He now fully understands, and reluctantly submits to his destiny
[Ayreon:]
I can smell the grass
And touch the flowers
Among the trees
I pass the hours
And fantasize
I let the dance of nature
Inspire me
Now my mind is free
From apparitions
I switch off like a television
And close my eyes
And I wish that I could see
Like everybody can
How I wish that I could be
Like any other man
I can't see the sun
But I sense its glow
I hear the sound of water flowing
Down the stream
And my heart cries out
For a little bit love
But I know that it was not meant to be
So I'll fulfil my destiny
And accept my fate
Still I wish that I could see
Like everybody can
How I wish that I could be
Like any other man
The time has come for ayreon to set about his mission
He sings about three main causes of the earth's eventual destruction
