Ayreon - The Awareness lyrics

rate me

[A. The premonition]

A STRANGE SENSATION COMES OVER AYREON,

AS IF SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS IS ABOUT TO OCCUR.

[B. Dreamtime (words become a song)]

SUDDENLY A VISION EMERGES IN AYREON'S EVER-BLACK WORLD

AND HE FINDS HIMSELF SINGING ABOUT THE HORRID PROJECTIONS

ETCHED INTO HIS BRAIN.

[AYREON:]

a cry in the silence

a shine in the dark

like a rising star

the dream is coming

images of violence a flight through time and pace

it's such a lonely place

the dream has started

the smoke is rising

the vision's getting clearer

and words become a song

in the dreamtime

I've lost control

marooned and cold

I suffer the fears

of a future untold

I cannot change

the shape of things to come

the smoke is rising

the vision's getting clearer

the hands of time are whirling around

I'm realising

the future's getting nearer

and words become a song

[C. The awakening]

ABRUPTLY THE VISION ENDS AND AYREON RECEDES INTO HIS DARKNESS.
