Lyrics Ayreon – Sea Of Machines
Text:
The Chemist:
The ‘Frame is running all our systems, no way to shut it down
Outcries of panic in the distance, fear… all around
The Diplomat:
We need to wake up from this bad dream, we’re not alone!
The Prophet:
I’ve seen the future in a dream
I’ve seen a sea of machines
I’ve seen a realm beneath the waves
Another time, another space
The Chemist:
The ‘Frame is closing all the channels, isolated from the world
The Diplomat:
But there’s still time to heal the damage and lift this curse
The Counselor:
You need to reach beyond your fear
You need to stand your ground and fight
If we’re to make it out of here
If we’re to leave Alpha alive
The Captain:
I can sail us to the skies
I can fly us to the stars
I won’t allow our race to die
I’ll never leave you in the dark
The President:
I’ll find a way to save our kind
After all I am to blame
Just follow me, and I will guide
And I’ll release us from the ‘Frame
The Chemist:
The ‘Frame is cutting off the power, we’re stranded in the dark
The Diplomat:
It won’t help to hide away like cowards, make a brand new start!
The Prophet:
I see a comet cleave the sky
In a time beyond time
I see a realm beneath the waves
I see a castle, a castle deep in space
On the edge of time!
