Farside Of The World Lyrics - Ayreon

A black shadow is crawling like a deadly spider 

We're all waiting in silence for the lonely rider 

For he will lead the way, for he will save the town 

We have to leave today, before the moon is down 

I'm haunted by dreams of a holy mission 

I follow the signs of my magic vision 

We have to dig a hole and he will be our eyes 

We have to reach a goal, before the sun will rise 

Journey to the far side of the world 

No one will catch me when I fall 

Follow the trail of fire 

No one will hear me when I call 

Journey to the far side of the world 

A distant place, a future time 

We'll climb the tallest spire 

I will raise the cross and the bells will chime 

We'll pass over the river to the silver tower 

Run before the clock strikes the final hour 

He saw it in a dream, he knew he had to die 

We never heard him scream, we never heard him cry 

Journey to the far side of the world 

Make them believe the dream is true 

Follow the trail of fire 

The moon came down, my time is through 

Journey to the far side of the world 

This is the way it was meant to be 

We'll climb the tallest spire 

The shadow is gone, the town is free 

Journey to the far side of the world 

The moon, the moon came down 

Follow the trail of fire, it was meant to be 

Journey to the far side of the world, journey is free 

We'll climb the tallest spire
