Magic Ride Lyrics - 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... 

[AYREON:] 

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.
