A. A NEW DAWN



A PERCEPTABLE TENSION IS HOVERING ABOVE AYREON'S HOMETOWN. SOMETHING IS AT

HAND.





B. THE GATHERING



THE TOWNSPEOPLE GATHER ON THE MARKET SQUARE TO JUDGE OF AYREON. IS HE A

PROPHET OR A CHARLATAN, OR EVEN WORSE: AN APPARITION MOST UNHOLY?





C. THE ACCUSATION



THE VILLAGERS ACCUSE AYREON OF BEING THE DEVIL'S SPAWN, BUT AYREON PERSISTS

VILLAGERS:

Have you seen his eyes

Up in the skies

Like hypnotized

And he never smiles

He never cries



Have you heard his song

VILLAGERS:

AYREON:

WITH STICKS AND TORCHES IN HAND, THE ANGRY VILLAGERS DRIVE AYREON OUT OF

COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED AYREON ROAMS THROUGH THE FOREST, ONLY AN INDISTINCT

AYREON:
