LYRICS:
There is danger ahead.
But do not be afraid.
For I am with you like breath itself.
Darkness will lead to light - colour will bleed into the night.
Beautiful colours, the like of which you
have never seen. Let the dream of confusion lead you into the virgin light!
Be gone!
Be all-seeing, be brave...
Be gone!
[A. AMAZING FLIGHT IN SPACE]
[barbarian]
I'm lookin' 'round bewildered
is this some dark and evil jest?
what brought me to this cursed keep
perchance some crazy quest
god forbid I am no coward!
pitted against monster, man or ghost,
I'd wield my blade with crimson gusto
for I'm the proud barbarian host!
[hippie (chorus:)]
hey dude, you're so uncool
but hey, that's allright
like there's no need to get uptight
my eyes reflect the stars
and a smile lights up my face
we're on an amazing flight in space
[barbarian]
I shook city, walls and towers
wreaking havoc in the streets
burned palaces of cow'rdly kings
not a one stood up to me
bear bloody banners in blazing skies!
brandish battle-axe and broadsword!
let drums of glory sound like thunder!
hail!! barbaric warlord!!
[hippie (chorus)]
[barbarian]
I load my black stallion
With grim determination
I found a kingdom
Where I chose to settle down
Righteous men would hang me
But I've given hell to pay
Cause nothing is as dangerous
As a barbarian warlord

*Barbarian sings about sacking cities*
Hippie casually remarks about him being "uncool", then accepts it.
Hippie has guts.
The instrumental part of this song is just so f*cking awesome.... (I'm talking from min 6 aprox)
Ngl I prefer the lyrical part esp the last bit (the solo leading into "rode my black stallion") but it's all amazing!
Sweet flute sweet!
It's possibly Clive Nolan(Pendragon), the best keyboard player!!
Is magical 😍
It's like Jethro Tull with a jazz drummer... more like rock jazz... and there's some future synths.. space freakin' jam!!!
I love it so much. Barbarian slaughters cities and the hippie calls him uncool
Possibly the best Ayreon song.
mmvsn yes!
I've had the chance to meet him in Milan when he was promoting his latest album, The Source... he's such a great person, indeed! Amazing artist, amazing human being... so inspiring!
I think Confrontation, The Sixth Extinction and Unification are the best 3 Ayreon songs.
Good Blues-rock in this music!!
A standout song on an album that may have been divinely fucking inspired. What a MASTERPIECE.

Barbarian vs Hippy story of the two versions of me thats going on constantly in my mind :P
They really need to make movies for these albums.
I'm planing to use this song in m'y movie
Hearing him playing this live last night was incredible, that was the best show I have ever seen :D
Why do so many people who like Dream Theater or Nightwish not know about Ayreon? How is that possible?????????
My favorite song in this entire album. It just gets better as the song goes on. I love this
In retrospect, barbarian vs. hippie(amazing flight) is my favorite song on part one. Hearing Arjen come in with those groovy guitars as the hippie even though he's a caricature...you just want to hug him. sometimes feel like theres a barbarian and a hippie arguing inside me lol.
Thank you God for the genius brain of Arjen Anthony Lucassens, bless his spirit. 🙏
Why is Ayreon not known for so many people? If you would introduce that band to a large community of people, then Ayreon could grow larger than Dream Theater would ever be able to!
Rolf Ahrensbach Possibly,but let's be selfish just once and keep this gem of a man/group to ourselves. I live in Memphis Tennessee and I am convinced that I am the only person in the state that knows of Arjen and his work. Sure I blast it through my car speakers to expose people to it,but they just don't understand his genius like we do
Ayreon has gained some traction in here finland when he got Floor to sing in few of his albums, because Floor was in nightwish.
You are not the only person in your state that knows what Ayreon is, you just need to expand your circle of friends :)
Thanks for letting me know, guys :D
There are those that know, and those that don't know, and then, there are those that don't know they don't know, just enjoy . . . . .
if there was an album that i would listen to while on psychedelics. it would be this one.
Amazing!!! Excellerating, exhilirating, extractionating. 5:40 Is that Sharon??? 6:38 Get out of here, unearthy. Each and every instrument killing it, wow. 8:25, taking a flight to..........
WOW! I just stumbled onto this band and I love their sound. There are so many interesting elements. Its very entertaining
I love the entire Ayreon discography but this is prolly the one song outside of Universal Migrator 2 that I can show to pretty much anyone regardless of their own tastes and they love it. BLOODY BANNERS AND BLAZING SKIES \m/
We're on an amazing flight in space
Darkness will lead to light - colour will bleed into the night.
Beautiful colours, the like of which you
have never seen. Let the dream of confusion lead you into the virgin light!
Portuguese Lyrics
Maravilhosa Viagem
[Voz Misteriosa]
Há perigo a frente. Mas não tenham medo. Pois estou com vocês como sua respiração.
Escuridão te levará á luz - cores irão sangrar dentro da noite. Lindas cores, daquelas que vocês nunca viram.
Deixem o sonho da confusão te levar para dentro da luz virgem!
Vão logo! Tenham ampla visão, sejam bravos...Vão logo!
[A. Maravilhosa Viagem no Espaço]
[Bárbaro]
Estou olhando a minha volta selvagemente
Isso é algum tipo de obscura e maligna piada?
O que me trouxe a este castelo amaldiçoado
talvez alguma busca maluca
Deus me proibiu não sou um covarde!
Encurralado diante de monstro, homem ou fantasma,
Eu portarei minha lâmina com entusiasmo
pois eu sou o orgulhoso anfitrião bárbaro!
[Hippie (refrão:)]
Ei cara, você é tão chato
Mas hey, está tudo bem
como não há necessidade de ficar tenso
meus olhos refletem as estrelas
e um sorriso ilumina meu rosto
Nós estamos em uma maravilhosa viagem no espaço
[Bárbaro]
Eu derrubei cidades, muros e torres
causando caos nas ruas
queimei palácios de reis covardes
nenhum aguentou à mim
Segurei bandeiras sangrentas em céus em chamas!
Movendo machado e espada!
Deixe as batidas da glória soarem como trovões!
Saúdem!! Lorde bárbaro!!
[Hippie(refrão)]
Ei cara, você é tão chato
Mas hey, está tudo bem
como não há necessidade de ficar tenso
meus olhos refletem as estrelas
e um sorriso ilumina meu rosto
Nós estamos em uma maravilhosa viagem no espaço
[Bárbaro]
Eu carrego meu garanhão preto
Com determinação sombria
Eu encontrei um reino
Onde eu escolhi me estabelecer
Homens justos me enforcariam
Mas eu dei o inferno para pagar
Porque nada é tão perigoso
Como um senhor da guerra Bárbaro
[B. Dança Estelar]

[C. FLYING COLOURS]*
[instrumental]
*Flying Colours, que na tradução ficaria "Cores Voando", é uma expressão que remete às bandeiras nos mastros do navio, seu significado tem a ver com persistência, teimosia, o ato de não desistir e continuar lutando. Enquanto as cores estivessem voando no mastro, a batalha ainda não estava perdida.
I AM THE HIPPY. LOL hey dude your so uncool.... lol
"Like there's no need to get uptight" Not my choice of words for a viking from 11th century :D
That's because THIS hippie has conviction, conviction a Forever can vicariously experience emotion through!
I think I dilated his fudge tunnel recently
This is my first time listening, I thought I had enough fun until now but then I realized we are getting just started yet..
The whole song is epic but the last two minutes are not of this world...

3. ,,Niesamowity Odlot''
**
*Przed wami czyha niebezpieczeństwo.*
*Lecz nie lękajcie się.*
*Gdyż jestem z wami jak sam oddech.*
*Ciemność zaprowadzi was do światła - kolory wykrwawią się w noc.*
*Piękne kolory, jakich jeszcze istoty wam podobne*
*nigdy nie ujrzały. Niech bezładny sen zaprowadzi was ku dziewiczemu światłu!*
*Bądźcie w drodze.*
*Bądźcie wszystko-widzący, bądźcie odważni...*
*Bądźcie w drodze!*
[A. ,,Niesamowity Odlot w Kosmosie'']
Rozglądam się oszołomiony
Czy to jakiś mroczny i zły żart?
Co przywiodło mnie do tego przeklętego miejsca
Ewentualnie jakaś szalona misja
Broń boże, nie jestem tchórzem!
Stając przeciw potworom, ludziom, czy duchom
Użyję mego ostrza z karmazynową werwą
Gdyż jestem dumnym barbarzyńskim wojem!
Hej stary, jesteś taki niemiły
Ale hej, to w porządku
Nie ma potrzeby się spinać
Moje oczy odbijają gwiazdy
A uśmiech rozświetla twarz
Mamy kosmicznie niesamowity odlot
Wstrząsałem miastami, murami i wieżami
Dewastowałem ulice
Paliłem pałace tchórzliwych królów
Ani jeden nie stawił mi czoła (Głupcy!)
Podnieście krwawe sztandary ku płonącym niebom!
Wyciągnijcie topory bojowe i miecze!
Niech bębny chwały zabrzmią jak grom!
Chwała barbarzyńskiemu wodzowi wojennemu!!
Hej stary, jesteś taki niemiły
Ale hej, to w porządku
Nie ma potrzeby się spinać
Moje oczy odbijają gwiazdy
A uśmiech rozświetla twarz
Mamy kosmicznie niesamowity odlot
Siodłam mego czarnego ogiera
Z ponurą determinacją
Odnalazłem królestwo
W którym się ustatkuję
Praworządni mężczyźni by mnie powiesili
Ale nie wzrusza mnie to
Gdyż nie ma nic tak groźnego
Jak barbarzyński wódz wojenny
[B: ,,Gwiezdny Taniec'']
{Śpiewa bez słów}
[C: ,,Ulotne Kolory'']
{Część Instrumentalna}
Po "(...)nie stawił mi czoła" Barbarzynca jeszcze dodaje "Głupcy" (wstawiłbym to w nawiasie)
Znowu pamiętamy o Atjena fascynacji filmem. Barbardzyńca to Conan. Ponury, małomówny i brutalny. Stąd proponuję parę zmian w jego tłumaczeniu.
"Gdyż jestem dumnym barbarzyńskim wojem!" - może po prostu "Gdyż jestem dumnym barbarzyńcą!" - nie zachowujemy rymów, z rytmiką też różnie, a ten "wój" jakoś kłuje w oczy. Przynajmniej mnie.
Hipis mógłby być bardziej wyluzowany i stylizowany. Może zamiast: "Hej stary, jesteś taki niemiły
Ale hej, to w porządku", dać: "Hej stary, coś taki niefajny, Ale hej, (jest) spoko" - w końcu Hippis jest zjarany, przyjazny i wyluzowany. "(jest)" najchętniej bym wywalił - chyba, ze zależy Ci na rytmice.
"Wstrząsałem miastami, murami i wieżami
Dewastowałem ulice" - Barbarzyńca raczej nie wstrząsa i nie dewastuje. Może więc:
"Trząsłem miast murami i wieżami, na ulicach siałem śmierć"
A dalej proponuję bardziej brutalnie i bezpośrednio, zamiast:
"Podnieście krwawe sztandary ku płonącym niebom!" - Wznieście krwawe...
Wyciągnijcie topory bojowe i miecze!" - "Dobądźcie miecze i topory"
Niech bębny chwały zabrzmią jak grom! - "Niech bębny chwały dudnią gromem"
Chwała barbarzyńskiemu wodzowi wojennemu!!" - Ze słowem Warlord jest od zawsze problem. Tym razem sugerował bym usunąć "wojennemu".Barbarzyński wódz, który kazał unieść sztandary, bić w bębny i dobyć mieczy i toporów, raczej nie jest Brandonem Budowniczym, ale poprowadzi w bój. :)
"Praworządni mężczyźni by mnie powiesili
Ale nie wzrusza mnie to
Gdyż nie ma nic tak groźnego
Jak barbarzyński wódz wojenny"
Może by zmienić na:
"Praworządni by mnie powiesili
dałem im powodów dość
Gdyż nie ma nic tak groźnego
Jak barbarzyński wojownik"
No i mamy jeszcze ostatnie linijki (te niewyraźne):
"I'll try to find some women and men" - tego nie jestem pewien.
I find this place aspears
For a barbarian warlord..."
Trudne. Może, skoro wcześniej śpiewał, że wreszcie znalazł królestwo w którym chce się osiedlić i zostać królem z daleka od tych praworzadnych, oraz siadał na koń i wzywał towarzyszy do broni, to:
"Poszukam miejscowych kobiet i mężczyzn,
To miejsce jest idealne
Dla barbarzyńcy-króla"
Proszę nie odbieraj tego, że się czepiam. Po prostu ekstra mi się podoba Twój pomysł i ogrom włożonej pracy. Zgłaszam swoje pomysły, a od Ciebie zależy co z tym zrobisz.
Ponownie dziękuję - uwagi stylistyczne były szczególnie przydatne. Nie ze wszystkich prawdopodobnie skorzystam, gdyż chcę pozostać możliwie wierny oryginałowi, ale co najmniej połowę już uwzględniłem.
Just checking Aeryon out for the first time. Don't like everything, but some is pretty cool. This is the shit. Everything I like about rock is in this song.
When you put it all together, all the different styles and moods, the story and the message, it really is an opera.
@@Beegeezy144 So cool that you would come in and comment after all this time! I've totally come over to the whole Ayreon thing since I posted this. So many cool people showing up to do this thing. Music theater at it's best.
@@marshallsnyder8423 What are your thoughts six months later?
@@andrechris-sargent9921At this point I like everything I've heard and would love to see them live, though I doubt they are coming my way.
let drums of glory! sound like thunder
I wish there was a music video where you could just watch them play in the studio. There's live video at ua-cam.com/video/r5IitoFXc7E/v-deo.html but I much prefer the sound of this studio version.
The "Flying colours" part is so amazing ;____;
Clive Nolan, from Pendragon Band.
Can't believe I had forgotten I played this at music school with my ensemble nearly 20 years ago.
Lyrics in italiano:
C'è pericolo davanti a voi
Ma non siate spaventati perchè io sono con voi
come il vostro respiro
L'oscurità condurrà alla luce,
i colori sanguineranno nella notte
Colori bellissimi
come non ne avete mai visti.
Lasciate che il sogno della confusione
vi guidi verso la luce vergine
Andate! Siate attenti, siate coraggiosi
Andate
[A: Il meraviglioso volo nello spazio]
[BARBARO:]
Mi sto guardando attorno sconcertato
Che sia questo uno scherzo malvagio?
Cosa mi ha condotto in questa fortezza maledetta?
Forse qualche folle ricerca
Lo voglia Dio, non sono un codardo!
Se dovessi combattere un mostro, uomo o fantasma,
Brandirei la mia spada con scarlatto piacere
perchè sono il fiero ospite barbaro!
[HIPPIE:]
Hey amico, come sei avventato
ma in fondo va tutto bene
infatti non c'è alcun motivo di essere nervosi
I miei occhi riflettono le stelle
e un sorriso illumina il mio volto
stiamo vivendo un meraviglioso volo nello spazio
[BARBARO:]
Ho fatto tremare la città, le mura e le torri
causando distruzioni per le strade
bruciando palazzi di re codardi
non uno di loro è riuscito a resistermi
issa vessilli insanguinati nei cieli in fiamme!
brandisci l'ascia da battaglia e lo spadone!
Lascia che il tamburo della gloria rimbombi come il tuono!
Saluta! Signore dei Barbari!
[HIPPIE:]
Hey amico, come sei avventato
ma in fondo va tutto bene
infatti non c'è alcun motivo di essere nervosi
I miei occhi riflettono le stelle
E un sorriso illumina il mio volto
stiamo vivendo un meraviglioso volo nello spazio

Maybe his best work....his best song....this organ is brilliant
Wtf this is so good
Favourite song of the album since first listening in 1998
Arjen sounds a lot like Bowie in this, nice
Great Arjen!!!
Best chorus ever!
This song is so much... Arjen has this vast vision of musics in 90s too... This is so bright, I love such kind of humans who still keep my hope for humanity, earth and universe
Amazing!!!
This is sooo epic!!
absolute LEGEND
Hi everybody! Here in Argentina happens the same, but there is one thing I'm certain of. All the people i know who listen Ayreon knows a lot about good music.
A unique composer/performer I love what you do.
This is so old and still Amazing, Thx Arjen🤘
Super !!! ;)
8:22 Listening to this part makes me feel like if reality is collapsing into a kind of iridescent wormhole, which sucks me up and makes me fly towards the unknown, at the speed of light, in a myriad of colours =)
This song remember me Naruto fights lol
Parts in this remind be of war of the worlds, amazing ;)
This is all i need in life
Anyone know any more Ayreon songs that are bluesy?
There is a portion in "The Day that the World Breaks Down" that is extremely bluesy.
AAAAAAAAAAAYREON!
Ayreon the best project to the world! +_+
Esta Cancion me enloquese, es una obra maestra.
This song is amazing, like the name, i love it, master piece !!!
Love it so badly
If anyone ever needs an example of "the perfect Ayreon song," this is it.
8:25 ZeroRanger vibes.
The dicision tree is better
Now I see what Arjen meant in the video of The Day That The World Breaks Down. Great stuff.
5:13 Pigs (Three Different Ones)!
8:25 Day Ten: Memories!
F#@ing brilliant. 10 thumbs down - Taylor Swift fans wondering what the hell? Where are the 500 dancers and autotune singing
0:30
Such superb musicianship. Hours of practice getting this stuff tight.
6:38 a.f. AMAZING!!!
Waitinng my castle...
prachtige muziek van Ayreon Ik ben erg voor prog en metal en nog meer genres en dat hoor je bij de muziek van Arjan allemaal.
Damn van feggelen ex bodine singer , does a great job on this track 💜
Oh god the memories take all my money
The Magnificent manifested in Music!!!!!
How singing this music? It's like Coverdale? rsrs
It's Jay van Feggelen as the Barbarian and Arjen Lucassen as the Hippie.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen sí crea música genial y maravillosa, no como otros estúpidos con más fama, como cur cobein o marilin manson.......
