[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.
