The Charm Of The Seer Lyrics - Ayreon

AYREON UNDERSTANDS THAT HE WAS NOT INDIVIDUALLY CHOSEN 

FOR THE 'TIME TELEPATHY EXPERIMENT', 

BUT THAT HE UNINTENTIONALLY RECEIVED ITS TRANSMISSIONS. 

THIS COULD BE BECAUSE OF A MORE DEVELOPED SIXTH SENSE 

AS A RESULT OF HIS BLINDNESS. 

HE ALSO REALISES THAT HE CAN NEITHER ACCOMPLISH HIS MISSION, 

NOR STOP THE VISIONS FROM PENETRATING HIS MIND. 

HIS SOLE ESCAPE IS TO SUBMIT TO THE MAGIC CHARM OF THE GREAT SEER MERLIN. 

[AYREON:] 

I've been lost in the valley of nightmares 

I've been found in the garden of dreams 

speak thy charm, I know you are out there 

cast thy spell and silence the screams 

but as I poise on the edge of life 

where time disappears 

I bow in fear 

to the charm of the seer 

I've seen fear in valiant faces 

I've seen hope in desperate eyes 

lead me home to familiar places 

lead me back to crystalline skies 

and as I poise on the edge of life 

where time disappears 

I bow in fear 

to the charm of the seer 

I have failed, I have been forsaken 

I've been scorned and misunderstood 

I have lost, my life has been taken 

I'd surrender if only I could
