Ayreon - Time Beyond Time lyrics
Artist: Ayreon
album: Into The Electric Castle
(Futureman) From the cities underseas
To the skyways in the east
From the stations on the moon
♪
To the planet of Neptune
I'm a sophisticated man
♪
And you would say I'd understand
Is it a virtual design?
♪
Are we launched into a time beyond time?
Space beyond space
We are lost here in this cyberworld
Is there no way out?
(Knight) I don't understand your words
They strike as hard as steel
I'm sworn to the sacred quest on the isle of Avalon
To retrieve the magic chalice
Which holds the power to heal
Only the pure of heart are received into the realm
(Roman) Just look around you now and tell me what you see
A world full of treachery
Skies of silver and seas of gold
The past is young and the future old
We're closed in by iron gates!
Beyond them Elysium waits
Far away on the edge of the world
In a time beyond time
Space beyond space
We are lost here in the underworld
Is there no way out?
♪
(Futureman) From the birthcry of our race
To the mysteries of space
I'm an educated man
♪
And you would say I'd understand
I don't understand your words (I'm a sophisticated man)
They strike as hard as steel
I'm sworn to the sacred quest (And you would say I'd understand)
On the isle of Avalon
Just look around you now, and tell me what you see
(To retrieve the magic chalice) (Is it a virtual design?)
A world full of treachery (Which holds the power to heal)
Far away on the edge of the world in a (Are we launched into a)
Time beyond time, space beyond space
To the skyways in the east
From the stations on the moon
♪
To the planet of Neptune
I'm a sophisticated man
♪
And you would say I'd understand
Is it a virtual design?

Are we launched into a time beyond time?
