Time Beyond Time Lyrics - Ayreon

[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
