A VISIONARY’S FATE
a) The Lingering Voice
NEW EARTH INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND PHYSICS
PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORY, APRIL 26th 2116
Edward wakes up after eighteen hours of sleep, and notices that the oxygen level in the laboratory has miraculously increased. For the first time in many months he sees the sun break through the clouds, and he takes it as a sign that he still has time to finish his formula experiments. However, his dream has left an eerie voice inside of him, one that reminds him that he has no worthy life to return to, so he might as well just take that one final final step...
Edward Nolan:
A brand new day is rising and the sun just hit my eye
I am waking from a dream, and I hear the voice still in my mind
"As long as you believe there is nothing that can ever hold you back"
The time has come
Time to be moving on
Here within the sanctuary that is my final lair
A shadow dancing in the sunlight clears my mind of all my fears
I feel the urge to give it all I have
Dare I go?
What am I waiting for?
I feel it running through my veins
My mind fades, but there is no pain
I am floating away to a place far beyond
SALON-DE-PROVENCE, FRANCE
NOSTRADAMUS’ SECRET CHAMBER, MARCH 18th 1552:
Nostradamus:
Only when in the presence of certain death can the mind truly see and reach beyond the realm in which it lives, and find eternity
Edward Nolan:
But when I am coming back to life
My eyes are open wide
Could it be that I was bound to fail?
ON A BENCH NEAR THEIR CHILDHOOD PLAYGROUND, EARLY MORNING. APRIL 26th 2116
Clément Martins:
Somehow I feel you here
Like a presence in the air
But if you find your way, will I even know or remember your name?
b) An Inevitable Desicion
Having reached a critical point both mentally and with his work, Edward realizes that there is nothing more he can do. Having lost all faith in his theories and himself, he has found peace with the fact that he can not reach that higher level of existence in life...so he has chosen death.
Edward Nolan:
If all is lost, I might as well begin another life
As I am closing my eyes again, I am leaving this world far behind
c) Rendezvous: Preparation
(Lead: Andreas)
SALON-DE-PROVENCE, FRANCE
NOSTRADAMUS’ SECRET CHAMBER, LATE EVENING, MARCH 18th 1554:
Nostradamus:
Je gravis les marches jusqu'à ma chambre secrète, aucun mur ne bloque la vue magnifique de Salon en cette chaude soirée d'été
Je ressens le besoin, comme un appel intérieur, alors attiré par ma table
Comme toutes ces innombrables fois, alors que la bougie vacille, je m'assoierai en paix absolue de l'esprit
Et je plongerai dans ma propre réflexion à la surface de l'eau, l'histoire se déroulera, des moments encore non vécus m'apparaîtront, clairs comme en plein jour
Sous ce ciel étoilé, une vision de l'histoire résonnera devant mes yeux
J'ai vu les guerres, la famine, la peste, la naissance et la mort...
Toutes ces choses que j'ai vu...
(ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
Climbing these stairs to my secret chamber, no walls to block Salon's magnificent view on this warm summer night
I feel an urge, like a calling from within, as I am being drawn to my table
Like so many times before, as the candle flickers, I will sit with absolute peace of mind
As I dive into my own reflection in the surface of the water, history will unfold, moments yet unlived will appear to me as clear as day
Under this starlit sky, a vision of history will resonate before my eyes
I have seen wars, famine, pestilence, birth and death...
All the things I have seen...
d) Fading into Forever
(Lead: Rafael/Andreas)
Edward Nolan:
I feel there is something changing deep inside of me...as if my body is being swept away
There is no sound, no darkness...not even a single beam of light
Is this the new dimension I have been searching for?
The temporal cosmos...eternity?
Did I open the door to a new, transcendental existence?
Is this the beyond?
Is it life or is it death?
Where do I go?
e) One Last Embrace
Clément can no longer stand the thought of Edward being left alone, and him and a group of friends are rushing to the institute to try to persuade him to come along, instead of being alone for the remainder of whatever time he has left. They search every room, until they find him lying lifeless on the laboratory floor. Next to him they discover a syringe, an old handwritten document containing only a short verse and a strange drawing of dots and lines.
But the only voice that could answer their questions will speak no more...
Clément Martins:
I hope that you've found all your answers, wherever you are
Edward Nolan:
I hear familiar voices around me
Clément Martins:
A life all alone in the darkness has come to an end...
Edward Nolan:
...but did I even make a difference for you?
Clément Martins:
We'll never forget, we'll always remember your name!
Edward Nolan:
Don't ever close your eyes
I will be there every single day
Clément Martins:
Don't walk away, don't walk away!
Edward Nolan:
I'm fading away...

I've loved Katsionis's work since his days with Firewind. His Stray Gods album was a little too Miaden-sounding for me, but this album does the Queensryche/Fates Warning thing right. You can hear an influence, but it is its own entity that can stand alone and should be promoted more because everyone deserves to hear this! ewilt15
