Magic Ride - Ayreon

somehow ayreon senses that his fate is upon him, and he implores, no he commands his future tormentors, to grant him one last moment of splendour in place of all the misery, that haunts his mind. but no one hears his plea. i sense a fear, deep inside, the end is near, i cannot hide, blood is spilt, my quest is unfulfilled, there's still so much, i long to see, i need to touch, i wish to be, i can't believe, this is all i can achieve, hark me now and let me go, to far-away lands and distant shores, an angel at my side, no evil plans or future wars, take me high on a magic ride, did you ever care, how i could feel, as you dreamt up, this one-way deal, my lords of time, don't you understand, my life's been rough, i was born to lose, i've had enough, of them future-blues, grant my wish, my wish is your command, the great merlin, arthur's magician and prophet, has observed ayreon's endeavours argus-eyed, but now he believes the moment has come for him to intervene.
