AYREON RETIRES IN THE GARDEN OF DREAMS SURROUNDING CAMELOT, ENJOYS THE

WONDERS OF NATURE AND REFLECTS ON HIS FATE. HE NOW FULLY UNDERSTANDS, AND

RELUCTANTLY SUBMITS TO HIS DESTINY.



AYREON:

I can smell the grass

And touch the flowers

Among the trees

I pass the hours

And fantasize

I let the dance of nature

Inspire me

Now my mind is free

>From apparitions

I switch off like a 'television'

And close my eyes



And I wish that I could see

Like everybody can

How I wish that I could be

Like any other man



I can't see the sun

But I sense its glow

I hear the sound of water flowing

Down the stream

And my heart cries out

For a little bit love

But I know that it was not meant to be

So I'll fulfil my destiny

And accept my fate



Still I wish that I could see

Like everybody can

How I wish that I could be

Like any other man
