Ayreon - The Visitation lyrics

Last night The Prodigy has been working on the Theory of Everything for months now. He's totally exhausted, but is sure that the final missing piece is just around the corner. Then one evening he gets an unexpected visitor. [Father] I'm down here on my knees Feeling the weight of shame How can I have done this To you, my son? [Prodigy] I can't believe my eyes Is it really you? Why should I forgive you After all you've done… [Father] I was driven and blind Not so unlike yourself We can still work together If you allow me [Prodigy] Why should I give you a chance? Why should I trust you now? Ha… I bet you are helpless Without me [Father] If we join our minds Then together we can do this [Both] We both want to be the first We both want to change the world [Father] We can work all night 'Til we find out what the truth is [Father and Prodigy] We'll solve this mystery Be a part of history [Prodigy] I'm so damn close [Father] I'll fill in the blanks [Prodigy] I could use a hand [Father] Just give me this chance [Prodigy and Father] For we're on the verge Of a breakthrough [Prodigy] The meds help me to see [Father] It's too late to stop now [Prodigy] I'll take just a few more [Father] Just 'til the answer is found [Prodigy and Father] We can make it We'll find the truth [Prodigy and Father] Let's join our minds It's our destiny to do this We're going to be the first We are going to change the world We'll work all night 'Til we find out what the truth is We both know we'll never sleep 'Til we make this quantum leap We are in this way too deep
