2084

"It is the 21st century. The Final Experiment has failed. The final devastating war that was foretold by the blind minstrel Ayreon has indeed come to pa*s. The war has destroyed all life on Earth, making it completely uninhabitable. I hover above my own dead body..." [Lana Lane] Silence fills the air Echoes fade away Of sadness and despair On that cruel and fateful day My body lies motionless Upon the kitchen floor The Earth has died, the world's at rest 2084 Many centuries ago In a dark enchanted land Our fate had been foretold By a poor misguided man We carried on down the road we chose The path of nevermore The journey ends, the book is closed 2084 And now I have to leave, my work on earth is done I'm heading for the planet known as Mars To the last of its race, the final newborn son Before I start my voyage to the stars
