Eyes Of Time Lyrics - Ayreon

[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 mystery 

[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.
