Lyrics
Prologue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the voice of merlin
Listen well, for it concerns you
This chronicle commences in the year 2084 a.D
Mankind has virtually destroyed itself
It's survival depends on the final experiment
Scientists from the 21st century have developed
A new computerprogram called Time Telepathy
By using this technique, they have sent visions of humanity's decline back in time
These transmissions have been received by the mind of a blind minstrel
Who lives in 6th century Great Britain
His name
Is Ayreon
It shall be Ayreon's quest to sing of these visions
And thus warn the world of its impending downfall
In order to change its future in a long and prosperous one
Let us go back to The Dark Ages
