[02:09.74]Is he a prophet or a charlatan, or even worse: [02:19.10]An apparition unholy?" [03:16.85]III. The Accusation [03:22.19]"The villagers accuse Ayreon of being the Devil's spawn, [03:27.27]but Ayreon persists in his innocence." [03:40.35]Villagers: [03:46.60]Have you seen his eyes, [03:48.86]up in the skies, [03:50.73]like hypnotized. [03:54.19]And he never smiles, [03:56.26]he never cries. [04:01.19]Have you heard his song, [04:03.74]fierce and strong, [04:05.74]right or wrong? [04:08.93]Should he be condemned, [04:10.81]for he doesn't belong.

[04:22.75]Villagers: [04:23.00]You've unleashed, [04:25.23]the rage of the Gods! [04:29.00]Ayreon: [04:29.26]What have I done? [04:30.80]Villagers: [04:31.00]You've denounced, [04:32.42]the wonder of creation. [04:36.49]Ayreon: [04:36.69]What have I done? [04:38.47]Villagers: [04:38.67]You've betrayed your own, [04:41.25]now you have to pay. [05:01.10]It has been foretold, [05:03.45]in days of old. [05:05.33]An evil soul, [05:08.71]will corrupt the world, [05:10.68]to achieve his goal. [05:15.83]He's the Devil's seed, [05:18.07]an evil breed, [05:20.01]he's gonna make you bleed. [05:23.18]He'll take all he needs, [05:25.66]with uncontrollable greed. [05:28.70]Ayreon: [05:29.00]What have I done? [05:30.23]Villagers: [05:30.43]You've aroused, [05:32.07]the forces of destruction. [05:36.30]Ayreon: [05:36.50]What have I done? [05:38.00]Villagers: [05:38.18]You've unleashed, [05:39.46]the rage of the Gods! [05:43.80]Ayreon: [05:44.00]What have I done? [05:45.44]Villagers: [05:45.64]You've denounced, [05:47.14]the wonder of creation. [05:51.40]Ayreon: [05:51.60]What have I done? [05:52.79]Villagers: [05:53.09]You've betrayed your own, [05:55.72]now you have to pay. [06:01.24]You have to pay! [06:15.60]Ayreon: [06:16.00]I've done nothing at all, [06:18.62]no nothing at all! [06:46.57]IV. The Banishment [06:55.70](Instrumental) [07:04.58]"With sticks and torches in hand, [07:13.51]the angry villagers drive Ayreon out of their demesne." [09:46.06]V. Oblivion [09:46.26]Completely exhausted, [09:46.66]Ayreon roams through the forest, [09:47.06]only an indistinct sense of accomplishment sustains him." [09:47.76]Ayreon: [09:48.06]If I have died, [09:51.01]then this must be Hell. [09:56.08]if I'm alive, [09:59.34]I cannot break this gruesome spell. [10:04.95]I am seeking relief, [10:10.21]and finding none. [10:15.25]I have fallen, [10:19.20]into oblivion. [10:23.43]A force within, [10:25.99]dominates my tormented soul, [10:32.18]and empowers me, [10:35.00]to regain absolute control. [10:41.00]I shall not yield, [10:45.31]for I am the chosen one, [10:50.12]who shall rise from oblivion.
