[A. THE TAURUS PULSAR]
Within a distant nebula in the Taurus zodiac
I hear the wailing of a star, the weak pulse of a fading sun
All its fuel is burning out and its light will fade to black
I can't ignore its hopeless shout as it fires its death cry out in space
A star in Taurus lights up and outshines the galaxy
A fleeting moment of glory in time and space
A supernova resounds, a desperate symphony
Leaving behind a beacon fallen from grace
Lift your head up to the sky
And hear the faraway cry of a dying star
I heard its message from afar
A frequent surge of sight and sound
We approach the fallen neutron star
Spinning round and round and round
We attend this cosmic mass and we hear its sad lament
But even stars and planets pass in this cold and everlasting place
Lift your head up to the sky and hear the cry...
We have encountered a quasar in the constellation Virgo. But does it really contain a
black hole, the portal to our final destination?
[B. QUASAR 3C273]
[Andi Deris, Lana Lane]
Heading off into the core of a newborn galaxy
We have reached a brilliant star-like source of energy
This cosmic spectacle of radiance was formed
Fifteen billion years ago when the universe was born
To the quasar
Beyond the milky way
The redshift is high, a bright light in the sky
To the dark star
Beyond the light of day
The gravity's high, a black sun in the sky
3C273
As we approach the sea of light I'm forced to close my eyes
I can feel the vibrant waves of centuries go by
Then the pull of an unseen force is tearing us away
Could it be we found the entrance to our passageway?

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.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
