LYRICS:
[Chronicle 3: The Transmigration]
[The Ship's Crew:]
Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race
[The Historian:]
Our world is ruined, Captain: no turning back
Their fate is cruel, Captain: their future black
Last Day is here, Captain: they lost all power
The end is near, Captain: It's zero hour
Our time is short, Captain: we need to leave
We're all aboard, Captain: we're all complete
All set to go, Captain: switch engines on
Set your controls, Captain: we leave at dawn
[The Opposition Leader:]
This time we won't depend on cold machinery
I always knew where that would lead
This time we plan ahead and form our strategy
No computers, no machines
[The Diplomat:]
Hibernation now begins, our minds allowed to dream
Eternity will course through our veins
Transformation will set in, the Source is flowing free
Augmenting our brains, forever... forever!
[The Historian:]
Our final chance, Captain: our final leap
We'll be in trance, Captain: we'll be asleep
What will we dream, Captain: will it seem real
What will we see, Captain: how will we feel
[The President:]
I say we change our ways and learn from the past
We cannot make the same mistakes
I say we start today, this chance may be our last
Our people's futures are at stake
[The Counselor:]
Rejuvenation will begin, our thoughts allowed to stray
Infinity will liberate our minds
Immortality sets in, wash our fears away
Leave all our doubts behind, forever
[The Chemist:]
Let the fluid in, wash away
Immerse yourself into this realm of liquid dreams
Everlasting life, drown away your past
Allow yourself to drift beyond the bounds of death and reach out for infinity
[The Biologist:]
Get ready for takeoff astronomer: and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off astronomer: all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing astronomer: to a far-off place
Our saga is starting astronomer: an aquatic race
[The Ship's Crew:]
Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race
[The Chemist:]
Embrace our future home beneath the tides
Soon we will be one with our new ocean world
Time without an end, life without a care
Allow yourself to sail beyond the fringe of time and reach out for eternity

My goodness, I love every single bit in this song.
The chorus sounds so "retro", the riffs kick ass, James and Tobias answering each other is heck of a fun, Tommy Karevik is epic, Michael Erikssen's and Simone's parts are so beautiful I almost cried, Tommy Rogers sounds so calming yet kinda haunting at the same time, and I just looove Floor and Hansi's duet.
How the heck is it possible to fit so much variety and awesomeness into one single song? :D
Fantastic summation. And it helped me understand and appreciate the song better, Thank you!
Yes a great take on this otherwise complicated masterpiece. Still loving this in 2021
James Labrie and Tobias Sammet just stole the show in this song! This is the best perfomance from both of them in years. Specially Labrie.
"This time we won't depend on cold machinery
I always knew where that would lead"
Yeah... :P
The age of shadows has begun...
ya they will eat those words :)
The Forevers when the Age of Shadows began: "Ah sh*t, here we go again"
@@branlopgar ..and yet they said "we never saw this coming" lol.
And then they let humanity do it.
Ya kinda feel like they'll do it again even after the New Migrator breathed life back into Y?
My god, one of the best songs in the album... yeaaa
I didn't hear a Hansi & Floor duet since Age Of Shadows, and it's AWESOME, my favorite part of the song. Thanks for this masterpiece Arjen!
Yeah and is the only song where he is not back in the mix.
To be honest still very underused. He is capable of much more, just listen fiddler on the green.
Get ready for takeoff
and forget the 'frame
get ready to shake off
all the guilty chains
our ship is departing
to a far-off place
our saga is starting
an aquatic race
Dat intro :B
Holy shit, this is intro of the year!
Cheers! ;-)
I've always wanted to hear james labrie and tobias sammet sing together, thank you arjen
Labrie as the Historian. =)
in this song he's the first one you hear after the epic intro :) followed by tobias sammet :D
Mauricio José Osuna Mauricio José Osuna 1:05 - 1:32 LaBrie & Sammet duet. You're welcome.
James labrie and tobias sammet together on the same track?! What an unexpected combination. Best of prog and power metal both contributing to the great ayreon!
This might be my favorite Ayreon song.
The opening riff, chorus, Kareviks parts (love his calm falsetto vibrato's), Tommy Rogers calm (foreboding and dark?!) parts with the clean guitar.. this is another masterpiece of a song!
Superb arrangements in this song, especially from Simones part onwards, so beautiful.
And with Tommy Rogers inbetween the majestic duets with Floor and Hansi, totally out of this world!
This is by far the best musical novel in the planet universe!
Whole album is awesome,and story is quite unique. You should make movie or write the friggin book.
And by the way i love your Star One album.
Drago mi da jos neko od nasih prepoznaje genija kao sto je Arjen Lukansen.
"The source" je istinsko remek delo ,a harmonije koje slazu ovi sjajni pevaci su izuzetne.
A Floor je cudo prirode !
Arjen you mad man! Thank you! My CD wasn't likely to arrive in the mail today, and there was no way I was listening to an illegal leak of it!
This, this is a legal leak. Only to prove that Arjen is absolutely mad.
Conrad Phạm not mad; just understands his audience, and how the public has changed in general. Contrary to the average dinosaurs still running the music industry. Kudos for being progressive in more ways than just your music, Arjen!
I agree, he's not mad. But forthcoming. His first concern isn't money but distributing his music, unlike some other musicians/disc companies.
I have so many favourite Ayreon songs and with every new one I encounter I think "surely THIS will be never be surpassed" and then next album he f-ing does it again.
Brilliant song.
Yeah, Labrie is so much more comfy doing no DT stuff. Seems to be loving doing Ayreon, even if he isn't even a major character.
Lyrics in italiano:
[The Ship's Crew:]
Pronti al decollo, dimentichiamo il 'Frame
Preparatevi a liberarvi dalle catene della colpa
La nostra nave è pronta a partire per un luogo lontano
La nostra saga ha inizio, una razza acquatica.
[Lo Storico:]
Il nostro mondo è in rovina
[Capitano:]
Non si torna indietro
[Lo Storico:]
Il loro destino è crudele
[Capitano:]
Il loro futuro è oscuro
[Lo Storico:]
Il Giorno del Giudizio è giunto
[Capitano:]
Hanno perso tutto il potere
[Lo Storico:]
La fine è vicina
[Capitano:]
è l’ora zero
[Lo Storico:]
Il tempo è quasi scaduto
[Capitano:]
Dobbiamo partire
[Lo Storico:]
Siamo tuti a bordo
[Capitano:]
Siamo al completo
[Lo Storico:]
È tutto pronto per partire
[Capitano:]
accendi i motori
[Lo Storico:]
Imposta i controlli
[Capitano:]
Partiamo all’alba
[Il Leader dell’Opposizione:]
Questa volta non dipenderemo
da fredde macchine
Ho sempre saputo dove ci avrebbe condotto
Questo volta abbiamo programmato tutto
Niente computer, niente macchine
[Il Diplomatico:]
Ora comincia l’ibernazione
le nostre menti possono finalmente sognare
L’eternità scorrerà tra le nostre vene
La trasformazione avrà inizio
La Source scorre libero
Potenziando il nostro cervello, per sempre…
per sempre!
[Lo storico:]
La nostra ultima possibilità
[Capitano:]
Il nostro ultimo salto
[Lo storico:]
Saremo in trance
[Capitano:]
Addormentati
[Lo storico:]
Quello che sogneremo
[Capitano:]
Sembrerà reale
[Lo storico:]
Cosa vedremo?
[Capitano:]
Come ci sentiremo?
[Il Presidente:]
Cambieremo il nostro modo di essere
e impareremo dal passato
non possiamo ripetere lo stesso errore
Cominciamo oggi,
questa potrebbe essere la nostra ultima possibilità
È in gioco il futuro del nostro popolo
[Il Consigliere:]
Il ringiovanimento inizierà
i nostri pensieri possono finalmente vagare
L’infinito libererà le nostre menti
L’immortalità si fa strada, lava via le paure
allontana i nostri dubbi, per sempre
[Il Chimico:]
Lasciate entrare il fluido, fate che lavi via
Immergetevi nel regno dei sogni liquidi
La vita eterna, annegate il vostro passato
Lasciatevi andare alla deriva oltre i confini
della morte e raggiungete l’infinito
[Il Biologo:]
Preparatevi per il decollo
[Astronomo:]
Dimenticate il 'Frame
[Il Biologo:]
Pronti a scrollarvi di dosso
[Astronomo:]
Le catene della colpa
[Il Biologo:]
La nostra astronave è in partenza
[Astronomo:]
verso un luogo lontano
[Il Biologo:]
La nostra saga ha inizio
[Astronomo:]
Una razza acquatica
[L’Equipaggio della Nave:]
Pronti al decollo, dimentichiamo il 'Frame
Preparatevi a liberarvi dalle catene della colpa
La nostra nave è pronta a partire per un luogo lontano
La nostra saga ha inizio, una razza acquatica.
[Il chimico:]
Abbracciate la nostra futura casa sotto le maree
Presto saremo tutt'uno con il nostro nuovo oceano
Tempo senza fine, vita senza preoccupazioni
Lasciatevi trasportare oltre il limite del tempo
e raggiungete l’eternità
Opening riff sounds like it's been here for ages, it's so monumental. Also this is my not yet 5 year old son's favourite song to sing along in the car. \m/
Opening riff is a rip-off from Magellan's "Estadium Nacional". Listen carrefully at 1:04.
ua-cam.com/video/ilI3nOH-krU/v-deo.html
Obviously, I don't think is a plagiarism, but a tribute to one of the greatest (and underrated) prog band of the past, and to the memory of Trent and Wayne Gardner.
I was referring to the guitar riff starting at 0:15.
Might be my favorite Ayreon song...DAMN it's so good.
Definitely one of the bests on the album!
Every song is one of the best on the album Haha
The Human Equation 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you M.Lucassen ! I feel in love recently with 01011001 (Part 1), I knew your music but never took time to listen.
The choirs with Hansi, (GB fan here) just got through me.
Wise move to upload this album yourself, instant buy on iTunes after 30 seconds :)
Put the link up there !
How the hell can you add as much greatness to the album as Karevik?!
That Jansen - Kursch duet has a magical golden gleam in it
imagine telling ELEVEN people to hit those notes.
Para mi, una de las mejores del album, toque de ilusion como esperanza, pero tambien toque oscuro y perturbador, y las vocales lo mejor de todo. De verdad una masterpiece como dicen.
One of my favourites from the album, and album I absolutely love by the way!
Is it just me or does the part from 2:00 to 2:25 sound like Roy Khan.
It totally does! I was a big Kamelot fan back in the day, and I always thought of Karevik as a Khan "mimic". Definitely changed my mind after listening to TToE, the last K album and this mastrpiece; the guy is massive! Still, I dream that Roy's heart and poetry return to Kamelot.
Check Seventh Wonder out! The entire band is really good. Mercy Falls is a good start.
Mercy Falls is awesome, I clicked with it and had it in my car on "repeat all" for months. Tears for a Father is one of my favourite ballads of all time.
But mike eriksen sings in that part, not karevik
Well obviously. I just got sidetracked by Karevik's ability to sound like that too. I do mean it as a compliment, for the record.
Mike Mills' Forever at 2:27 is just amazing
I know but I think this is his voice
How good is this song! I can't believe how awesome this album is. And that intro is just beyond insane.
That intro reminds me of 'Can I play with madness'
never have i ever loved anything as much as i love ayreon!
As of this message no one has said how the drums make this a killer tune...of course the vocals and arrangements are amazing, but listen to drum melodies... Heavenly music!
Ricardo Zavala You're bloody right!!!!
It's what Arjen is saying from the very beginning ... everything can change, but Ed, he just has to be in Ayreon, he instinctively knows what is best for the song, always. He is part of the foundation.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A whole album is a fuckin' masterpiece!
This masterpiece is to be broadcast over all the known Universe!!!
Holy Shit, what is this song? I can't stop hearing! Awesome!
i love this album, and i love this song. Thanks Arjen :D ! rock forever !
Omg the last time I was here I listened to this song 20 times in a row, before forcing myself to go to sleep. Will today be the same?
I love you Arjen, thank you for bringing such pieces, gives the mind a really theatrical world filled with good stories and excellent music
what an incredible chorus!! HOLY SHIIIIIIIIEEEEETTT!!
All my favorite singer in one song! I can't stop crying, thank you!!!
LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!
at 3:10 is that Simone Simons from Epica?
Yes
Strong guitars. 7 strings are the best.
Great song, great album...of the year?
Holy Sh... the intro i cannot stop listen the entire album, just 86 times in this mont 😋
Crazy Vocal! Shilling my spine "ad infinitum". XD
Wow! What an absolutely epic composition and performance! Nice to see some real artists with actual talent.
I'm really looking forward to exploring this entire album and the band's other songs too. I can't remember the last time I said that about a band... You've earned my respect.
Sir Arjen Anthony Lucassen, you are a master
Tommy karevik is god
Thank you!!!! So epic, it touches my soul!!
Trully awesome song!!!!!
The riff is awesome !!!!
My girlfriend said the beggining was a little cheesy.. I agree, but I love it .. cool as fuck
Love it that u posted some of the songs!!! Sounds really awesome btw and the story , origin of forever? :P :D
@3:30 HNNNNNNNGGG that transition
Unaquatic race!!
This one is the best.
I thing the last chorus must be repeated one more time to give us more climax.
I love the harmonies at 4:47, reminds me of some songs by Queensryche on Empire
Wow! This sounds amazing! Impressive yet again.
Probably the best piece from the whole album. Epic vocals, rythmics and melody. It is recognizably Ayreon orchestration, but on the other hand something totally different. And that is the strength. Most of this album is the "Standard Ayreon". The mediocre same-old, same-old. But this sounds totally epic! I think this will probably be the main reason I want to get this album :D
Aryeons same old same old is still 100X better then any music I have ever heard
Yeah, no argument there :)
Listening it online actually made me buy the nice earbook edition, because it keeps getting better after every listen. Mark of a great album!
I just can't get over this song. So good!
Awesome arrangements!!! It was worth the wait.
Quero Eriksen no Dream Theater fora Labrie.
The intro😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Well, that's an ok song isn't it?
does not NOT get better than this
Very cool intro! :)
pow ele podia lançar logo o CD.
So epic!!! Thank you!!!!
3:36 4:20 4:35 5:27
Beautiful!
What is the time signature of this track?
HellRaiser83 9/4 on the opening/chorus, and mainly 4/4 on the rest I think
Did I hear Geoff Tate on this song?
Nope. He does appear on an Avantasia album though.
I like to think about this song as a tribute to Roy Khan, I mean, those voice effects, that vibrato, that falsetto from Karevik (I know he use it in Kamelot), and the way that Eriksen let his voice be free... Arjen maybe was thinking in Roy's voice and wants to do a kind of tribute, if he doesn't maybe this song is cursed for not having the right (perfect) voice (Roy's) for Diplomat/Opposite leader in this song. This is my opinion. Awesome song!
I feel like this belongs in a final fantasy game
I hate the way Karevik stole Roy Khans unique singing that falsetto parts, remember you will always be his copy
He had to so he could sing in Kamelot, he still has his own style, and techniques aren't really something that can be stolen, they are like open source engines. Besides, he still has his own more pop-like techniques and grit singing from Seventh Wonder and I am pretty sure Roy Khan didn't invent that kind of technique, I bet it was used in opera works before.
If nobody 'stole' anything we'd never have any new genres and no new styles or techniques at all.
"His copy"... PLEASE. Tommy is a world class singer with his own and amazing style developed and improved thanks to Seventh Wonder.
Right, no one else ever did that in the history of man, before Roy Khan, all hail.
post me here a link who sings like that, indentical???????? I mean nothing bad, its just the fact.
