Ayreon – Set Your Controls lyrics

A. One by Four by Nine
Messenger:
Touch me now and feel my force
I will give you life
History will change its course
Man will survive

Computer:
Something's strange, I'm so confused, I don't know why

Storyteller:(secrets have not been told)

Computer:
I've been designed to tell the truth, I cannot lie

Storyteller: (when will the truth unfold?)

Computer:
I heard the news, a mystery, a strange device

Storyteller: (what does the future hold?)

Computer:
I'm so afraid, I just can't see through all these lies

Storyteller: (behold this alien messenger)

Computer:
is this a cosmic design?

Storyteller: (the bringer of a new day)

Computer:
one by four by nine

Messenger:
Reach out to me and seal your fate
A new phase is near
Come to me and cross the gate
No pain, no fear

B. Starchild

Commander:
A strange signal, beamed out in space
From the face of the moon
Harbinger of a new race
We'll be evolving soon

I see the future, a new star will rise
I see the world through the all-seeing eyes
Of the Starchild

I have entered another dimension
My perception expands
Transcending beyond comprehension
Evolution of man?

C. A New Sun

Messenger:
Time has come, a brand new sun
Shining down on you
The reign of peace has now begun
Dreams have come true

Computer:
I see the future, a new star will rise
I see the world through the all-seeing eyes
Of the Starchild
