Into The Black Hole Lyrics - Ayreon

"We have reached our first destination: the black hole in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. 

But what will we find inside? Its power is immeasurable. Our hopes and fears intermingle 

as we stand at the event horizon. Will its 

doorway transport us to our faraway planet Earth, or will its fury mercilessly tear us 

apart?" 

[Bruce Dickinson, Lana Lane] 

[A. THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE] 

A dark sphere surrounds us 

Surreal...oblivious... 

In the centre of the galaxy 

A hidden force has found us 

Powerful...mysterious... 

At the boundary of eternity 

Nothing escapes, not even light 

Beyond the mystical horizon 

We surrender to its might 

Gazing into the eye of the universe 

A deep roar is sounding 

Deafening...thunderous... 

As if the universe were crying 

My heart is pounding 

Frantic...delirious... 

My every nerve is dying 

[B. HALO OF DARKNESS] 

I hear screams of fallen souls, sad cries of agony 

Within the void of this evil hole, deep inside the black 

Could it be my imagination, the mirror of my fantasy? 

A fear-induced hallucination 

Or is there no way back from the halo of darkness? 

Spirits - apparitions - misery - suffering 

Horrid dreams and dire visions rising up from the black 

Look away in disbelief, this cannot be happening 

The end has come, I bow in grief 

There is no way back from the halo of darkness 

[C. THE FINAL DOOR] 

Now silence devours us 

Massive...suffocating... 

The calm before the storm 

Gravity overpowers us 

Invincible...dominating... 

And leads us through the final door 

Feed me light, I'm the halo of darkness 

Feel my might, I'm the eye of the universe
