Ayreon
Abby in Transitus
[The storyteller: Tom Baker]
Abby wakes up
To find herself
In Transitus
She realizes
She must have perished in the flames
But strangely
She’s not troubled by this
Not afraid at all
Nothing could be worse
Than the hell she’s escaped from
Her heart gradually fills with
A sense of peace — and benevolence

[Abby: Cammie Gilbert]
So this is how it ends
My hopes all washed away
Now all is meaningless
As I accept my fate
All is quiet now
Here inside this void
I am empty now
My dream
Of happiness
Destroyed
No, I’m not afraid
Free of guilt and shame
Alone and purposeless
Spared of all the blame
But without you at my side
I’ve got no reason left
To try
Without you in my life
I’m lost
Worn out
So tired
