Beyond The Last Horizons Lyrics - Singles - Ayreon

Ready for the enemy 

Hungry for the battle 

Fighting hard for victory 

In the army of the king 

Armed with shield and sword 

We mounted our horses 

Leaving on a sacred quest 

On our way to fight the holy war 

They attacked from different sides Hard pressed with numbers 

We could not even run nor hide 

We had to stand and fight 

Then I felt a blade of steel 

Penetrate my armour 

I did not dream the pain was real 

As I went down I knew my time 

Had come 

And then he rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light 

That seemed to charm him 

Until he came to a road that Disappeared beyond the last horizon 

He knew there'd be no way back 

Once he had vanished in the Blackness of Infinity 

And so he gathered all his strength 

Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of death 

I opened up my weary eyes 

The haze slowly lifted 

The mighty roar of battlecries 

Stopped ringing in my ears 

I gazed upon a friendly face 

He carried me to safety 

I told him of this frightening place and Of my journey back from the other side 

And then they rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light that Seemed to charm him 

A force so seductive and yet so Destructive and cruel 

Until he came to a road that Disappeared beyond the last horizon 

He knew there'd be no way back 

Once he had vanished in the Blackness of infinity 

And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death into the valley of 

death 

I followed that road to the edge of Eternity he knew there'd be no way Back once he had 

vanished in the Blackness of infinity 

I fought for my life for I had to survive The ordeal 

And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of 

death
