Magic Ride-Ayreon

[00:02.58]Act III: Visual Echoes (Part IV) [00:04.88]"Somehow Ayreon senses that his fate is upon him, [00:09.27]and he implores, no he commands his future tormentors, [00:13.70]to grant him one last moment in splendour in place, [00:18.14]of all misery that haunts his mind. [00:22.88]But no one hears his plea..." [00:46.07]Ayreon: [00:46.83]I sense a fear deep inside, [00:50.65]the end is near, I cannot hide. [00:54.72]Blood is spilt, my quest is unfulfilled. [01:02.16]There's still so much I long to see, [01:06.01]I need to touch, I wish to be. [01:09.97]I can't believe this is all I can achieve. [01:15.89]Hark me now and let me go, [01:17.70]to far-away lands and distant shores, [01:21.27]an angel at my side. [01:25.21]No evil plans, [01:27.19]or future wars. [01:29.03]Take me high, [01:31.03]on a magic ride. [02:03.13]Did you ever care how I could feel, [02:07.44]as you dreamt up this one-way deal? [02:11.27]My Lords of time, don't you understand? [02:19.17]My life's been rough, I was born to lose. [02:22.70]I've had enough of them future-blues. [02:26.78]Grant my wish, my wish is your command. [02:32.78]Hark me now and let me go, [02:34.27]to far-away lands and distant shores, [02:38.16]an angel at my side. [02:41.97]No evil plans, [02:43.77]or future wars. [02:45.88]Take me high, [02:47.52]on a magic ride. [03:00.42]"The great Merlin, Arthur's magician and prophet, [03:10.57]has observed Ayreon's endeavours argus-eyed, [03:20.67]but now he believes the moment has come for him to intervene."
