Lyrics The Stranger From Within (single version) - Ayreon

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:
He's a stranger,
I don't know where he's coming from.
Is he a danger to me?
Or just another man?
He knows magic,
Or maybe he's a charlatan...
Is it a sly trick he plays?
Does he have a plan?

OKKIE HUYSDENS:
He said he came from a world beyond my dreams.
From the depths of my mind...
He said he'd burn like star and disappear,
But leave his spirit behind...

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:
He's a stranger,
A man with a destiny.
A rearranger of fate,
A changer of lives.
They will erase him,
For they are all afraid of him.
They're gonna trace him, and then,
Cause him to die...

OKKIE HUYSDENS:
He said he'd cure me. I do not have to die.
I hold my fate in my hands...
He said he'd always be there, everytime I'd cry.
One day I would understand.

ROBERT SOETERBOEK:
He was a stranger,
They shot him, and now he's dead.
I'm out of danger, he lives on...
Inside my head.

BOTH:
He said he came from a world beyond my dreams.
From the depths of my mind... (From the depths of mind!)
He said he'd burn like star and disappear.
But leave his spirit behind...

He said he'd cure me. I do not have to die.
I hold my fate in my hands... (I hold my fate in my hands!)
He said he'd always be there, everytime I'd cry.
One day I would understand.
