Lyrics:

A. A NEW DAWN

A PERCEPTABLE TENSION IS HOVERING ABOVE AYREON'S HOMETOWN. SOMETHING IS AT
HAND.


B. THE GATHERING

THE TOWNSPEOPLE GATHER ON THE MARKET SQUARE TO JUDGE OF AYREON. IS HE A
PROPHET OR A CHARLATAN, OR EVEN WORSE: AN APPARITION MOST UNHOLY?


C. THE ACCUSATION

THE VILLAGERS ACCUSE AYREON OF BEING THE DEVIL'S SPAWN, BUT AYREON PERSISTS
IN HIS INNOCENCE.

VILLAGERS:
Have you seen his eyes
Up in the skies
Like hypnotized
And he never smiles
He never cries

Have you heard his song
Fierce and strong
Right or wrong
Should he be condemned
For he doesn't belong

AYREON:
What have I done
VILLAGERS:
You've aroused the forces of destruction
AYREON:
What have I done
VILLAGERS:
You've unleashed the rage of the gods
AYREON:
What have I done
VILLAGERS:
You've denounced the wonder of creation
AYREON:
What have I done
VILLAGERS:
You've betrayed your own,
Now you have to pay

It has been foretold
In days of old
'N evil soul
Will corrupt the world
To achieve his goal

He's the devil's seed
An evil breed
He's gonna make you bleed
He'll take all he needs
With uncontrolable greed

AYREON:
I've done nothing at all,
No nothing at all


D. THE BANISHMENT

WITH STICKS AND TORCHES IN HAND, THE ANGRY VILLAGERS DRIVE AYREON OUT OF
THEIR DEMESNE.


E. OBLIVION

COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED AYREON ROAMS THROUGH THE FOREST, ONLY AN INDISTINCT
SENSE OF UNACCOMPLISHMENT SUSTAINS HIM.

AYREON:
If
