"It is the 6th century. This is where it all began. My tired body has passed away, but my once-tortured spirit is finally free now. My name is ... Ayreon."
[Arjen Lucassen]
I′ve crossed the edge where time disappears My life has been taken by the charm of the seer My conscience is clear, I committed no sin My spirit roams free now, carried by the wind
My mission has failed, the spell has been cast I wasn′t the first one and I won′t be the last This can′t be the end, so let it begin My message will reach you, carried by the wind
Out here on Mars I now realize Mankind has vanished, tears fill my eyes There must be a world I can live in My spirit will find it, carried by the wind
Only the wind can carry my message to you Only the wind can say all that I wanted to I drown beneath the ocean, sinking fast I don′t know Only the wind...
Only the wind can carry my message to you Only the wind can say all that I wanted to I drown beneath the ocean of my dreams, sinking fast, cringing at all my screams Only the wind
I won’t blame the hurting on you you left in the sweetest way I won′t say that it′s you Making me feel this way
It’s the heart and the soul and the body and the brain. Driving me insane But the wind and the land and the fire and the rain Always stay the same.
Ayayaj While I roll with the wind Bringing distance to everything Ayayaj wohoow Ayayaj While I sit by the fire And glance at the pouring rain Ayayaj Ayayaj
I won′t claim it′s all cause of you I guess that I played a part It’s just that I never knew I′d fall for you from the start
There’s a hole in my heart and a picture in a frame Driving me insane But the wind and the land and the fire and the rain Always stay the same
Ayayaj While I roll with the wind Bringing distance to everything Ayayaj wohoow Ayayaj While I sit by the fire And glance at the pouring rain Ayayaj Ayayaj
I would never blame you for the heartache I would never blame you for the tears I blame my stubborn heart, soul, body Every single thing around me stays the same No matter what
Ayayaj While I roll with the wind Bringing distance to everything Ayayaj wohoow Ayayaj While I sit by the fire And glance at the pouring rain Ayayaj Ayayaj Ayayaj While I roll with the wind Bringing distance to everything Ayayaj wohoow Ayayaj While I sit by the fire And glance at the pouring rain Ayayaj Ayayaj
Watching through the window Oh, staring at the rain Watching all the time go Relive all my pain [scat singing] So many in the sky, the red sky - rain all aglow I′ve learned my lesson hard - oh, no Here I am, ho-ho - the tears falling down Hey-hey, ho-ho - the years go rolling down Tears go on, tears go on together Together - together Oh, looking through the window Staring at the rain Oh, watching all the time go Tears fall down like rain Oh, watching at the window Staring at the rain Oh, watching as the time go See my life go pour the rain on down
I have drunk my head all weary I′ve been wild in search for fun A lot of dates and names and places Great deal of women I have known
But as I sit here and remember all the things that I′ve been through It appears to me quite clear now how one thing always remained true I have a gift that have make me wonders to write and sing a song It pulled me through a lot of hard times and probably will do so for quite long
Two continents I′ve travelled I′ve made a million friends I′ve talked to press, tv and radio I′ve been exhausted, joyed and bored beyond sense
I have recorded things I′ve written great deal of albums I did sell I′ve done what many only dream of It′s been sheer heaven mixed with just a little hell I′ve seen my face on the covers of the magazines
We go through many different stages in our life though short it is We take on symbols sounds and faces but in the end you′re all there is
This is me playing and me singing it′s for you all to either love or hate Behind this leather and my dark shades there′s a heart that′s far from a fake
Before you critisize please understand And value only what you′ve got at hand Don′t bring your prejudice of what is me You see you can not put a label on the wind
Praying to the wind to return Chant the heat of infernal lightning Gaze at the sky and its poisoned clouds Listen for the sound of thunder
Now the tide has changed...
Stand on the cliffsedge alone in the night My hair is blowing freely in the Wind Fell so cold yet my yearn give me heat Raise my head to the sky and breath in
Now the time is right...
It brings us curse, lust, hate, damnation and death Wail through darkness and bring evil It squall it screams Satanas is present but yet he is unseen
I′ve got to breathe You can′t take that from me Cause it′s all that you left that′s mine You had to leave And that′s all I can see But you told me your love was blind
There are times You′re so impossible that I should sign a waiver And you will find Someone worth walking on when you ask me to go
I′ll leave when the wind blows Take a breath and there it goes I′ll be outside of your window I′ll pass by but I′ll go slow I′ll leave when the wind blows
There was a day You threw our love away Then you passed it to someone new You wanna stay But since you wanna play We can finally say we′re through
There are times you′re so impossible and you ask me to go
I′ll leave when the wind blows Take a breath and there it goes I′ll be outside of your window I′ll pass by but I′ll go slow I′ll leave when the wind blows
You can scream there′s just echoes Pass outside of your window You′ll be sad that you let me go I′ll leave but just know
As I lay in solitude Oh what′s a boy supposed to do I shake the very thought of you Me together, I remember Late nights when I stayed up late All I do is wait and wait You′re never coming home to me That′s the hardest thing to see
I got to breathe You can′t take that from We can finally say we′re through
I′ll leave when the wind blows Take a breath and there it goes I′ll be outside of your window I′ll pass by but I′ll go slow I′ll leave when the wind blows
You can scream there′s just echoes Pass outside of your window You′ll be sad that you let me go On every face you′ll ever know And everywhere you ever go You′ll feel when the wind blows
You think you own whatever land you land on The earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know ev′ry rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You′ll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they′re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends In a cirle, in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or let the eagle tell you there he′s been Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
How high does the sycamore grow ? If you cut it down, then you′ll never know
And you′ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper-skinned We just sing with all the voices of the mountain Need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the earth and still All you′ll own is earth until You can paint with all colors of the wind
Hey, yeah I used to think Being like you Was the key to having everything Every dream come true I used to think Following the crowd Was the only thing that I could do Until I found out
I′m OK Sometimes you have to do your own thing Every winter turns to spring And everybody′s got their own wings
[Chorus:] The little girl you knew The one who never stood up to you Who kept her silence to long Well she′s gone with the wind And now I′m standing my ground And who I am and for that I′m proud And the girl that you knew Well she′s gone with the wind
I′m speaking out My conscious is clear And I don′t care what anybody thinks I still fear less fear And I don′t have to be What you want me to be Cause every time I try to fit in It feels like I′m unappealing
I′m OK Sometimes you have to do your own thing Every winter turns to spring And everybody′s got their own wings
How many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man? Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail, Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes and how many times must cannonballs fly, Before they′re forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin′ in the wind The answer is blowin′ in the wind
How many times must a man look up, Before he can see the sky? How many ears must one man have, Before he can hear people cry? How many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin′ in the wind The answer is blowin′ in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist, Before it′s washed to the seas (sea) HOw many years can some people exist, Before they′re allowed to be free? How many times can a man turn his head, Pretend that he just doesn′t see? The answer, my friend, is blowin′ in the wind The answer is blowin′ in the wind.
My friend the wind will come from the hills When dawn will rise, he′ll wake me again My friend the wind will tell me a secret He shares with me, he shares with me
My friend the wind will come from the north With words of love, she whispered for me My friend the wind will say she loves me And me alone, and me alone
I′ll hear her voice and the words That he brings from Helenimou Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou Oh oh oh
We′ll share a dream where I′m never away from Helenimou Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou Oh oh oh
My friend the wind go back to the hills And tell my love a day will soon come Oh friendly wind you tell her a secret You know so well, oh you know so well
My friend the wind will come from the north With words of love, she whispered for me My friend the wind will say she loves me And me alone, and me alone
I′ll hear her voice and the words That he brings from Helenimou Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou Oh oh oh
We′ll share a dream where I′m never away from Helenimou Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou Oh oh oh
La la la .... Helenimou La la la .... Aghapimou La la la .... Manoulamou
La la la .... Helenimou La la la .... Aghapimou La la la .... Manoulamou

I surrender my soul Odin hear my call One day I′ll sit beside your throne In Valhalla′s great hall Like so many before me I′ll die with honor and pride
The right of the warrior Forever to fight by your side Send a sign, raise the sail Wave a last goodbye Destiny is calling Immortality be mine
Call the witch to cast the runes Weave a magic spell We who die in battle are born Not for heaven, not for hell
[Bridge:] We are sons of Odin The fire we burn inside Is the legacy of warrior kings Who reign above in the sky
[Chorus:] I will lead the charge My sword into the wind Sons of Odin fight To die and live again Viking ships cross the sea In cold wind and rain Sail into the black of night Magic stars our guiding light
[Instrumental]
Today the blood of battle Upon my weapons will never dry Many I′ll send into the ground Laughing as they die
[Repeat bridge, chorus]
Place my body on a ship And burn it on the sea Let my spirit rise Valkiries carry me Take me to Valhalla Where my brothers wait for me Fires burn into the sky My spirit will never die
In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep I live inside a dream calling to your spirit As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing
Far beyond the sun across the western sky Reach into the blackness find a silver line In a voice I whisper a candle in the night We′ll carry all our dreams on a single beam of light
Close your eyes, look into the dream Winds of change will winds of fortune bring
Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find There the road begins where another one will end Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend All to be the master of the wind
Falling stars now light my way My life was written on the wind Clouds above, clouds below High ascend the dream within
When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside And there will be the road to all our dreams For any day that stings two better days it brings Nothing is as bad as it seems
Close your eyes, look into the dream Winds of change will winds of fortune bring
Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find There the road begins where another one will end Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend All to be the master of the wind
She′s like the wind through my tree She rides the night next to me She leads me through moonlight Only to burn me with the sun She′s taken my heart But she doesn′t know what she′s done
Feel her breath on my face Her body close to me Can′t look in her eyes She′s out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She′s like the wind
[SOLO]
I look in the mirror and all I see Is a young old man with only a dream Am I just fooling myself That she′ll stop the pain Living without her I′d go insane
Feel her breath on my face Her body close to me Can′t look in her eyes She′s out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She′s like the wind
Feel your breath on my face Your body close to me Can′t look in your eyes You′re out of my league Just a fool to believe (Just a fool to believe) She′s like the wind (Just a fool to believe) Just a fool to believe (She′s like the wind) Just a fool to believe (Just a fool to believe) She′s like the wind (Just a fool to believe) Just a fool to believe She′s like the wind
Shes like the wind, through my dream She rides the night, next to me She leads me through moonlight Only to burn me with the sun Shes taking my heart But she doesnt′t′t know what she′s done I feel her breath on my face Her body close to me I can′t look in her eyes Shes out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs Shes like the wind I look in the mirror and all I see Is the young old man with only a dream And Im just fooling myselfthat she stops the pain Living without her I go insane I feel her breath in my face Her body close to me I can′t look in her eyes Shes out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs Shes like the wind I feel your breath on my face Your body close to me I can′t look in your eyes Youre out of my league Just a foolto believe Shes like the wind [repeat 5 times] Just a fool Shes like the wind
