Lyrics:

'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
