The 'Frame is running all our systems, no way to shut it down
Outcries of panic in the distance, fear... all around
No satellites, no radio, no TV, I can't even use my phone
We need to wake up from this bad dream, we're not alone!
I've seen the future in a dream
I've seen a sea of machines
I've seen a realm beneath the waves
Another time, another space
The 'Frame is closing all the channels, isolated from the world
But there's still time to heal the damage and lift this curse
You need to reach beyond your fear
You need to stand your ground and fight
If we're to make it out of here
If we're to leave Alpha alive
I can sail us to the skies
I can fly us to the stars
I won't allow our race to dieI'll never leave you in the dark
I'll find a way to save our kind
After all I am to blame
Just follow me, and I will guide
And I'll release us from the 'Frame
The 'Frame is cutting off the power, we're stranded in the dark
It won't help to hide away like cowards, make a brand new start!
I see a comet cleave the sky
In a time beyond time
I see a realm beneath the waves
I see a castle, a castle deep in space
On the edge of time!
The lyrics SEA OF MACHINES of AYREON is also present in the album The source (2017)
Ayreon è un progetto musicale progressive rock fondato nel 1995 dall'olandese Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen, compositore e polistrumentista di talento, ha concepito Ayreon come un concept album narrativo in cui diverse voci cantano i ruoli di personaggi immaginari all'interno di una storia fantascientifica complessa. Il primo album, "The Final Experiment", uscì nel 1998 e segnò l'inizio di un percorso musicale unico che ha visto la partecipazione di numerosi artisti ospiti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Ayreon si ricordano "The Day the World Stops Turning" e "Starseed", entrambi tratti dall'album "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Journey". Altri album importanti includono "01011001", "The Theory of Everything" e "Transitus", che hanno consolidato la posizione di Ayreon come progetto musicale innovativo e apprezzato dalla critica. Lucassen, con la sua abilità nel creare mondi musicali complessi e coinvolgenti, ha contribuito a definire il genere progressive rock contemporaneo.
