Ayreon - Listen To My Story lyrics
Artist: Ayreon
album: Transitus
Mirage-like, in the far distance
A whirlwind rises ominously
And races towards Daniel
As it winds its way through the wild contours
Of the Transitus landscape
A mysterious figure emerges from its depths
♪
Well, hello there
♪
So who the hell are you?
I hate to be the one to have to tell you
You have come to the end
You are about to ascend into
The Great Beyond!
I hate to be the one to have to push you
But you are holding up the line
Move along to your final destination!
No!
I can't accept this is the end
I won't rest in peace
My love and life unresolved
A little time is all I need
My soul is not at ease
Please, listen to my story
They are all alike
They die
They plead for their life
They lie
Then break down and cry
Now, I don't know why
Him I like
Must be something in his eyes
Well, alright, shall we give him some time
And listen to his story?
♪
So tell me why should I
Waste one second on you?
Oh yes, I have to confess
You're cuter than the rest
Of this lifeless crowd
So tell me why you think
You're entitled to my time
I'm sick and tired of all lies
And immune to all cries of desperation!
No, no, no!
I never should have doubted her
She was not to blame
No matter what they all say
I must go back and let her know
I need to clear her name
Won't you listen to my story?
They are all alike
They die
They plead for their life
They lie
Then break down and cry
No, I don't know why
You, I like
Must be something in your eyes
So, alright, we'll go back in time
I'll listen to your story
Just take my hand
A whirlwind rises ominously
And races towards Daniel
As it winds its way through the wild contours
Of the Transitus landscape
A mysterious figure emerges from its depths
♪
Well, hello there

So who the hell are you?
I hate to be the one to have to tell you

Move along to your final destination!
