Ayreon - Journey To Forever Lyrics






[The Ship's Crew:]
We're on a journey to forever
Dreams eternal, in a wondrous world without walls
We are Forever, wondering what the future holds

[The Captain:] I hear you, a distant voice inside my brain
[The Diplomat:] I see you, so clear, though you're so far away
[The Captain:] united, together though we're miles apart
[The Diplomat:] undivided, a symbiosis of the heart

[The Captain and The Diplomat:]
We're all connected, a never-ending synergy
We're a collective, an infinite community, immortal harmony, eternal unity

[The Captain:] I'm ready to dive into this brave new world
[The Diplomat:] commencing the morning of our second birth
[The Captain:] it's coming, the rising of a glorious age
[The Diplomat:] it's starting, the dawn of a superior race

[The Ship's Crew:]
We're on a journey to forever
Dreams eternal, in a wondrous world without walls
We are Forever, wondering what the future holds

[The Astronomer:]
We're all connected, a never-ending synergy
Our minds have melded, a singular society
We're a collective, an infinite community
A perfect symmetry, immortal harmony, eternal unity

Ayreon Journey To Forever Comments
  1. R.... H....

    Such ecstatic joy ! <3

  2. A.... ....

    All I can do is imagine a cheesy song and dance number

  3. Z.... X....

    Sammet sings better in this song than in the last 5 albums of edguy

  4. I.... I....

    Lyrics in italiano:

    [L’Equipaggio della Nave:]
    Siamo in viaggio verso Forever
    Sogni eterni, in un fantastico
    mondo senza confini
    Noi siamo Forever
    domandandoci cosa ci porterà il futuro

    [Il Capitano:]
    Vi sento, una voce lontana dentro il mio cervello
    [Il Diplomatico:]
    Vi vedo, chiaramente, anche se siete così lontani
    [Il Capitano:]
    Uniti, insieme anche se siamo lontani chilometri
    [Il Diplomatico:]
    Indivisi, una simbiosi del cuore

    [Il Capitano e il Diplomatico:]
    Siamo tutti connessi, una sinergia senza fine
    Siamo una comunità collettiva, infinita,
    un’armonia immortale, un’unità eterna

    [Il Capitano:]
    Sono pronto ad immergermi in
    questo nuovo mondo coraggioso
    [Il Diplomatico:]
    Comincia il giorno della nostra seconda rinascita
    [Il Capitano:]
    Ecco il sorgere di un’epoca gloriosa
    [Il Diplomatico:]
    Ha inizio, l’alba di una razza superiore

    [L’Equipaggio della Nave:]
    Siamo in viaggio verso Forever
    Sogni eterni, in un fantastico
    mondo senza confini
    Noi siamo Forever
    domandandoci cosa ci porterà il futuro

    [L’Astronomo:]
    Siamo tutti connessi, una sinergia senza fine
    Le nostre menti sono unite, una società unica
    Siamo una comunità collettiva e infinita,
    Una perfetta simmetria,
    un’armonia immortale,
    un’unità eterna

  5. C.... ....

    when the science juice kicks in

  6. J.... V....

    I love that song... and guitar in 1:41 reminds me Bowie's Starman. :-D

  7. W.... T....

    wondering what the future holds

  8. J.... R....

    Great song! :)

  9. D.... E....

    The new album is a pure awesomeness!

  10. G.... ....

    What's the time signature for this song?

  11. M.... o....

    This song is sadder than Sea of Machines, All That Was, Condamned to Live and The Dream Dissolves.

  12. A.... L....

    starting at 1:42, this is SO "Sylvia" (Focus). Love it! :D

    A.... L....

    A great song by Focus! :)

  13. L.... S....

    Sing along part! Yay!

  14. R.... 1....

    The song kind of ends very abrubtly

    R.... 1....

    It's because it's meant to blend seemlessly into The Human Compulsion. In an album version there would be no interruption, but through youtube there is a short hitch before the next track plays

  15. M.... R....

    " I'm ready to dive into this brave new world " I think I see some reference to a certain dystopian fiction, am I right? ;)

  16. L.... ....

    "The day that world breaks down" and this one are my favs on the album :D

  17. T.... U....

    if the album ended here it would have a happy ending. everyone's just so hopeful of their future knowing what actually happens is depressing

    T.... U....

    Ditto theyre so hopeful and its like wow this is gonna hurt knowing where its going to go...

  18. C.... M....

    I have no idea why... this song kind of makes me cry...

    C.... M....

    Maybe because The Forever where so full of hope. Those have been beyond melted to the ground in 01011001..

    C.... M....

    Indeed that's what comes to my mind... it's so heart breaking...

  19. V.... L....

    3 tubes in the back of the head. 1 tube in spine. 1 tube in left thigh....
    how do they eat and poop? the tubes are in the wrong spots.
    also, none of the tubes are the right color for transferring nutrient rich blood.
    and what is the thigh tube even doing? it is not transferring blood that is for sure.

    V.... L....

    No need to do any of that. And Blood? No, liquid eternity has replaced their blood. Why eat? No need. What's in the thigh? Bone marrow.

    V.... L....

    That thigh tube is clearly not full of bone marrow

    V.... L....

    Everything is liquid eternity now.

  20. p.... ....

    I'm coming home to the planet of blue, Is this the end, can it be true?
    I'm reaching out to the planet of blue... Anyone else notice the similarity of the melody?

    p.... ....

    good observation!

  21. L.... S....

    Hi Ayreonauts !When I saw on Facebook : A new Ayreon Album, I cried !When I saw the singers and the musicians guest (specially Mark Kelly : Marillion !) on this album, I said : This album will be greater than "Into the electric castle" !When I watch the video "The Day That The World Breaks Down", I cried for the 2nd time and for "Everybody Dies" and "Star Of Sirrah" too !!!When I receive the cd signed with the poster and the t-shirt one week before the release of the album, I cried !After listening 13-14 times, I learnt to play the whole album on drums ! (it's hard !)And yesterday, when I wanted to hear some great music on this channel, I saw the WHOLE album uploaded !But Arjen, what are you doing ? How can you get benefit of your album if you put it on youtube for free !If someone doesn't understand why he uploaded his album like me, please answer !Thanks, Loïc, a 14 years old fan.

  22. M.... ....

    α Andromedae is comprised of two stars, Alpherat and Sirrah, in close orbit.
    "In Chinese, 壁宿 (Bì Sù), meaning wall, refers to an asterism consisting of α Andromedae and γ Pegasi.[19] Consequently, α Andromedae itself is known as 壁宿二 (Bì Sù èr, English: the second star of the wall.)" Credits to Wikipedia.

    Key words to notice... "Sirrah" and "Wall". I wonder if he knew this when he created "A world without walls" (which is referenced in this is song).

  23. M.... ....

    A Journey to Forever. Wait till they get bored and lose their emotions... then they'll start throwing comets of DNA love at Earth to speed up man kinds evolution - all to create a soul migrator which Forever hope's will save them from the emotionless existence they live. (P.s. I know they didn't tech throw the comet at Earth, but you get the point).
    When that soul migrator gets back to Forever... they will have to change the name of their race lol.

  24. M.... K....

    Lucassen...congratulations. I"ll buy this album.

  25. L.... H....

    We're a collective, an infinite community, immortal harmony, eternal unity

    L.... H....

    Is the captain Tobias Sammet?

    L.... H....

    Yes. :)

  26. T.... ....

    This gave me so many Emotions, so awesome! Crying tears, the source flows... Also: The Album is way better SciFi than the new Star Wars movies! Thanks for that awesome Yourney! Just WOW!

  27. G.... C....

    Arjen, really!? Did you uploaded the whole album?????. WOW!. Greetings from Chile and, keep that awesome work!

  28. M.... M....

    The song is very powerfull and beautiful, all the disc is a very masterpiece. But nobody feel a bad frequancy when guitar enter near 0:39 and in all parts when guitar do a long chord? from 0:56 is also louder.

    M.... M....

    Mago Maverick no

  29. T.... ....

    Have you thought of an acapella album? I bet you have.

    T.... ....

    Well, he has made acoustic variants before (the "Gentle" side of The Gentle Storm, and the acoustic version of The Final Experiment)... but fully _a capella_ is perhaps too much to ask. :)

    T.... ....

    Found the neckbeard.

  30. �.... P....

    Amazing Day!!

  31. j.... f....

    We are Forever!!

  32. S.... ....

    The opening harmonies hit you like a shot from a cannon made of pure, distilled unchained awesome. And the rest of the song is just as good. I couldn't have wished for anything better than this, because I didn't know it could exist.

    S.... ....

    Arjen getting in on that Leave It by Yes magic

  33. M.... ....

    We're on a journey to Disney World, and Hansi will make it even more epic in the end! It's so damn catchy!

    M.... ....

    Yeah, Hansi's parts are really powerful.

  34. M.... J....

    Brilliant. Definitely carrying the prog legacy.

  35. C.... ....

    Great song and I love that we got to know the origin story of the "Forever". The alphans seem so hopeful about their future, proud to be able to call themselves "Forever". Knowing their cruel fate from the '01011001 release, it's so sad!

    C.... ....

    Hey, I just discovered Ayreon this week and I'm loving it! The Source is a prequel story to another album they did?

    C.... ....

    @Ghi102 yes

  36. G.... e....

    the best song of the album after the march of the machines great work cant wait til i get the album

    G.... e....

    My thoughts exactly! Love both of those tracks. Wish they were both longer though...
