Beyond The Last Horizon - Ayreon

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:

Ready for the enemy

Hungry for the battle

Fighting hard for victory

In the army of the king

Armed with shield and sword

We mounted our horses

Leaving on a sacred quest

On our way to fight the holy war

They attacked from different sides

Hard pressed with numbers

We could not even run nor hide

We had to stand and fight

Then I felt a blade of steel

Penetrate my armour

I did not dream the pain was real

As I went down I knew my time had come…

EDWARD REEKERS:

And then he rode into the night

Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him

EDWARD REEKERS: Until he came to a road that disappeared

OKKIE HUYSDENS: Beyond the last horizon

EDWARD REEKERS:

He knew there’d be no way back

Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity

EDWARD REEKERS: And so he gathered all his strength not to descend

OKKIE HUYSDENS: Into the valley of death…

ROBERT SOETERBOEK: Into the valley of death…

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:

I opened up my weary eyes

The haze slowly lifted

The mighty roar of battlecries

Stopped ringing in my ears

I gazed upon a friendly face

He carried me to safety

I told him of this frightening place

And of my journey back from the other side

EDWARD REEKERS:

And then he rode into the night

Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him

EDWARD REEKERS: Until he came to a road that disappeared

OKKIE HUYSDENS: Beyond the last horizon

EDWARD REEKERS:

He knew there’d be no way back

Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity

EDWARD REEKERS: And so he gathered all his strength not to descend

OKKIE HUYSDENS: Into the valley of death…

ROBERT SOETERBOEK: Into the valley of death…

EDWARD REEKERS:

And then he rode into the night

Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:

A force so seductive

And yet so destructive and cruel

EDWARD REEKERS: Until he came to a road that disappeared

OKKIE HUYSDENS: Beyond the last horizon

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:

I followed that road to the edge of eternity

EDWARD REEKERS:

He knew there’d be no way back

Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:

I fought for my life

For I had to survive the ordeal

EDWARD REEKERS: And so he gathered all his strength not to descend

OKKIE HUYSDENS: Into the valley of death…

ROBERT SOETERBOEK: Into the valley of death…
