Ayreon Lyrics

Album: Into The Electric Castle

Welcome To The New Dimension Lyrics

Storyteller:

Memories come back to me, it’s the 22nd century 

Unthinkable events occur on the 3rd moon of Jupiter 

Worker:

I’d leave this hellhole if I could

The mining’s hard but the pay is good

There is only one way to survive

I take the drug to stay alive 

Marshal: 

The shuttlecraft has landed, the killers have arrived

I know I’m alone here, there is no one on my side

I’m ready for the showdown, so let the chase begin

I will not be defeated

I have made a solemn vow to leave here soon 

Marshal’s wife:

High moon 

Storyteller:

The company is trying to hide the higher rates of suicide

Here’s no pain and much to gain, but then the drug destroys their brain 

 Worker:

I gotta leave this evil place

I don’t belong in outer space

Outside it’s zero atmosphere

The only way to get out of here 

 Storyteller:

He had to choose between his part in this machine

Or going back with her to earth

He never had a choice, but when he heard her voice

He fought for all that he was worth 

Marshal:

I had to choose, I could not lose

Had to get back to you

I had no choice, I heard your voice

I had to survive, had to stay alive 

 Storyteller: Dan

Worker: Russell (+ad libs last chorus)

Wife: Floor

Marshal: Damian
