9 years after discovering Ayreon, I'm making music entirely by myself. HEAVILY inspired by it. And because of that, sounds probably almost nothing like it. And I think that's a beautiful thing.

Day Five: Voices Pride] I hear voices, they're talking about you Can you hear them, do you know what they mean? Try to remember, what have you been through What do you know and what have you seen? I can read the thoughts they're conveying So intense, can you feel them too? I can't believe it's true what they're saying You're far too strong, it couldn't happen to you [Me] But what if there's truth in the words that they speak What do they signify? [Pride] You worry too much [Me] And what are the questions to answers I seek What will they clarify? [Pride] You're losing your touch [Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me... [Reason] Who are these voices, where do they come from? Should we try to understand? Mere illusions, hallucinations? They might be vital to our plan [Love] They sound familiar They must be here to help you All this confusion's tearing you apart You must be patient, time is the healer Open up and let them in your heart [Fear] Their guilty sighs I think you understand it all You were afraid to live, now you're afraid to die... You fool yourself You rose so high, you were bound to fall Longing for the truth, you lived a lie... [Reason] I am convinced now, they are essential They must be our way out of here [Love] Listen and learn, let your heart lead you And you will find the solution's near [Fear] Their guilty sighs I think you understand it all Long for the truth, you lived a lie... [Pride] If they are right, we'll fight for survival Look to the future, but learn from the past Confront the danger, face up to your rival Take a deep breath, we have to move fast [Me] I think there is truth in the words that they speak What do they signify? [Pride] You worry way too much [Me] I will find the answers to questions I seek What will they clarify? [Pride] You're losing your touch [Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me… Pride] I hear voices, they're talking about you Can you hear them, do you know what they mean? Try to remember, what have you been through What do you know and what have you seen? I can read the thoughts they're conveying So intense, can you feel them too? I can't believe it's true what they're saying You're far too strong, it couldn't happen to you [Me] But what if there's truth in the words that they speak What do they signify? [Pride] You worry too much [Me] And what are the questions to answers I seek What will they clarify? [Pride] You're losing your touch [Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me...

"You were afraid to live, now you're afraid to die..." HOLY SHIT!

I can hear quite a strong Led Zeppelin influence in the soft parts of this song. Especially with that violin solo.

The greatest song on this wonderful album. Especially 3 times the short silences and then the enormous outburst, and the choice of instruments is genius. It seems they play the mandoline in reverse at the beginning.

This is the song that made me fall in love with Ayreon back in 2004.

QUE ÁLBUM PERFEITO !!

My Sophomore Year: I bought this album, and I remember getting my wisdom teeth pulled and being at home with gauze in my mouth - mouth bleeding endlessly - and listening to this album and enjoying my life. Fond memory.

I HEAR VOICES... ...they're talking about YOU.

Portuguese lyrics Dia 5 - Vozes [Orgulho] Escuto vozes, elas falam sobre você Você pode ouví-las, sabe o que querem dizer? Tente se lembrar, o que você passou O que você sabe e o que você viu? Eu posso ler os pensamentos que elas passam Tão intensos, você também pode sentir? Não acredito que é verdade o que elas dizem Você é tão forte, não pode estar acontecendo com você [Eu] Mas e se houver verdade nas palavras que elas falam O que elas significam? [Orgulho] Você se preocupa demais [Eu] E quais são as questões para as resposta que procuro O que elas esclarecerão? [Orgulho] Você está perdendo seu toque [Eu] Me ajude, isso não significa nada pra mim... [Razão] Quem são essas vozes, de onde elas vêm? Nós devemos tentar entendê-las? Apenas ilusões, alucinações? Elas podem ser vitais para o nosso plano [Amor] Elas soam familiar, devem estar aqui pra te ajudar Toda essa confusão está acabando contigo Você tem de ser paciente, o tempo é o curandeiro Abra-se e deixe-as entrar em seu coração [Medo] A culpa delas suspira Acho que você entende tudo Você tinha medo de viver, agora tem medo de morrer... Você se engana Você subiu tanto, agora está limitado a cair Muito antes da verdade, você vivia uma mentira... [Razão] Estou convencido, elas são essenciais Elas devem ser nosso caminho para fora daqui [Amor] Escute e aprenda, deixe seu coração te guiar E você vai achar que a solução está perto [Medo] A culpa delas suspira Eu acho que você entende tudo Muito antes da verdade, você vivia uma mentira... [Orgulho] Se eles estão certos, nós lutaremos para sobreviver Olhando para o futuro, mas aprendendo com o passado Enfrentar o perigo, cara-a-cara com o rival Respire fundo, nós tempos de ir rápido [Eu] Eu acho que há verdade nas palavras que elas falam O que elas significam? [Orgulho] Você se preocupa demais [Eu] Eu vou achar as respostas das perguntas que procuro O que elas esclarecerão? [Orgulho] Você está perdendo seu toque [Me] Me ajude, isso não significa nada pra mim...

The Gospel Of Philip 127 If someone experiences Trust and Consciousness in the heart of the embrace, they become a child of the light. If someone does not receive these, it is because they remain attached to what they know; when they cease to be attached, they will be able to receive them. Whoever receives this light in nakedness will no longer be recognizable; none will be able to grasp them, none will be able to make them sad or miserable, whether they are in this world, or have left it. They already know the truth in images. For them, this world has become another world, and this Temple Space [Aeon] is fullness [pleroma]. They are who they are. They are one. Neither shadow nor night can hide them. __ The Gospel Of Philip Translated by Jean-Yves Leloup
