Ayreon Eyes Of Time Lyrics

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 mysery

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
doe 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.
