Carried by the Wind

"It is the 6th century. This is where it all began. My tired body has passed away, but my

once-tortured spirit is finally free now. My name is ... Ayreon."

I've crossed the edge where time disappears

My life has been taken by the charm of the seer

My conscience is clear, I committed no sin

My spirit roams free now, carried by the wind

My mission has failed, the spell has been cast

I wasn't the first one and I won't be the last

This can't be the end, so let it begin

My message will reach you, carried by the wind

Out here on Mars I now realize

Mankind has vanished, tears fill my eyes

There must be a world I can live in

My spirit will find it, carried by the wind
