[Neil Morse, Mark McCrite]
In fields of green, vast as the oceans
Is this a dream, is it evermore?
A million years, fast as a notion
I stand alone here on the silent shore
I'm after prey in the fields
Shelter in a cave from the cold and lonely nights
And now it all seems so real
Warming at the fireside beneath the pale moonlight
This is the dawn of time
I am the first to stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
This is the dawn of time
Witnessing the birth
I am the first man on earth
The skies of blue reach to the heavens
They go on and on forevermore
No avenues, no city sidewalks
Planet Mars is but ancient lore
This place has all that I need
No computers glowing screens, no industrial machines
Somehow it all seems surreal
Memories of days gone by, a slowly fading scene
No one here to blame me
No one here to hurt
So much space here to occupy my mind
I can breathe the breath of virgin land
The firefly at nighttime
The sounds of nothing known
And I belong here like I never have before
The wandering child returning home
When twilight falls, red is the sunset
Planets appear across the colored sky
No prison walls, no war, no bloodshed
Hard to believe this new world will die
I wish that I could stay for a while
In the dream world that the sequencer creates
And though it all seems so real
Now I fear the time is gone, I feel its heavy weight
Hold on to this moment in time
Savor a life how it used to be
Hold on to the world in its prime
Breathe in the air, feel the energy
Ayreon is a progressive rock music project founded in 1995 by Dutch composer and multi-instrumentalist Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen, a talented composer and multi-instrumentalist, conceived Ayreon as a narrative concept album where different voices sing the roles of imaginary characters within a complex science fiction story. The first album, "The Final Experiment", was released in 1998 and marked the beginning of a unique musical journey that has seen the participation of numerous guest artists from all over the world. Among Ayreon's most representative songs are "The Day the World Stops Turning" and "Starseed", both taken from the album "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Journey". Other important albums include "01011001", "The Theory of Everything" and "Transitus", which have consolidated Ayreon's position as an innovative and critically acclaimed musical project. Lucassen, with his ability to create complex and engaging musical worlds, has contributed to defining the contemporary progressive rock genre.
