Song lyrics

[A. The time telepathy experiment]

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.
Its survival depends on 'The Final Experiment'.
Scientists from the 21st century have developed
A new computer-program 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 Britain.
His name... is "Ayreon".

[B. Overture]

[C. Ayreon's quest]

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 into a long and prosperous one.
