Ayreon's Fate lyrics

[AYREON:]

Misguided Merlin

You fail to understand

I could never be your rival

I was just a pawn

In a future master plan

For the purpose of survival

[MERLIN:]

Ayreon, I've cast

My spell upon you

I have no faith

You cannot be true

Ayreon!

[AYREON:]

I forgive you Merlin

For you don’t know what you've done

Even for you, it was all a mystery

One day you'll see

That I was the one

Who could change the course of history

[MERLIN:]

Ayreon, your words are all in vain

Close your eyes

There’ll be no more pain

Oh Ayreon...

[MERLIN:]

I see one day

His story will be told

At the end of the 20th century

I see one day

The truth will unfold

And the quest has now begun

Oh Ayreon!

I hope one day

That man will understand

It's in his power

To change his destiny

I hope one day

He'll do all that he can

And all the nations will be one

Oh Ayreon!

The outcome of the final experiment has now been placed in your hands
