Lyrics for Prologue

This is the voice of Merlin Listen well for it concerns you This chronicle commences in the year 2084 A.D. Mankind has virtually destroyed itself Its survival depends on 'The Final Experiment' Scientists from the 21st century have developed a new computer-program called 'Time Telepathy' By using this technique they have sent visions of humanity's decline back in time These transmissions have been received by the mind of a blind minstrel, who lives in 6th century Britain His name... is Ayreon It shall be Ayreon's quest to sing of these visions And thus warn the world of its impending downfall in order to change its future Into a long and prosperous one
