Ayreon: Time Beyond Time

FUTUREMAN:
From the cities on the seas
To the skyways in the east
From the stations on the moon
To the planet of Neptune

I'm a sophisticated man
And you would say I'd understand
Is it a virtual design?
Are we launched into a time beyond time?
Space beyond space
We are lost here in this cyber world...
Is there no way out?

KNIGHT:
I don't understand your words!
They strike as hard as steel
I'm sworn to the sacred quest
On the isle of Avalon

To retrieve the magic chalice
Which holds the power to heal
Only the pure of heart
Are received into the realm

ROMAN:
Just look around you now and tell me what you see
A world full of treachery
Skies of silver and seas of gold
The past is young and the future old
We're closed in by iron gates!
Beyond them Elysium waits
Far away on the edge of the world in a time beyond time
Space beyond space
We are lost here in the underworld...
Is there no way out?

FUTUREMAN:
From the birthcry of our race
To the mysteries of space
I'm an educated man
And you would say I'd understand...
