This is such an amazing song up to 1:40 - then it falls away which frustrates me! If it had stuck with the vibe of the first section it would be the greatest song known to man!!!!
@mistyblood It's not 'they' it's one guy that does projects for which he always gets the best singers and instrumentalists. His name is Arjen Lucassen and there are many cd's out already. The newest Ayreon cd is callen the Human Equation which is even better than this one. He has also just released a new album under the name Star One: Victims of the modern age which is not a story like this one, but still a concept album (with songs based on dystopian films).
Arjen you are a genious. Your music has truly made this world a better place to be :)

@wpsracing108 I think it does that to show a distinct change in narrator from the Futureman to the Knight.

from the birth cry of our race
to the mysteries of space
I'm an educated man
