Lyrics The Great Beyond - Ayreon, Tom Baker, Tommy Karevik

The Great Beyond

«And as Abby calmly takes in her strange new surroundings,
She notices a hazy shape making its way towards her.
As it approaches it grows clearer until
She is able to discern the figure of a man.
A flash of hope pierces the calm she felt only a moment ago.
Could it be Daniel?
Dear God — she thought — let it be Daniel!»
Is there someone there?
Have you come for me?
Is it my time?
Wait… what do I see…
I can feel you here, can this be true
Dare I trust my eyes, is it really you!
Trust your eyes, believe your heart
No more lies, a brand new start
Eternity, just you and me
The Great Beyond, two worlds now one
no more shame
no more blame
erased from time
released from life
beyond these gates
our future waits
the Great Beyond
two worlds now one
infinity
eternity
forever free
just you and me
a new life’s begun
a timeless bond
the Great Beyond
two worlds now one
Fatum — luminosum — decus
Astrum — in aeternum — venus
