I Love Music And I Am Now Listening To
Speaking of Ayreon...
1) The Space Kingdom of Asgardia should buy right to use this as their advertisement ;)
2) The video reminds me of an early Elite clone, Star Trader or something weird. I just remember one of the more valuable trade goods was humorously "Lovely Glortiblobs" or something like that, which gives no Google search results.
3) Re-visiting this video in 2018, the Starblade which flashes in at 3:18 looks suspiciously like ‘Oumuamua, the first interstellar visitor (asteroid) discovered half a year after the release of the video.
4) Self-boasting is still tacky, even if it's supposed to be "metal opera", and even if power metal's been doing it for decades ;)
5) If you do SciFi, at least keep science in it ffs. But I guess you gotta need your magical MacGuffin.

4. Star Of Sirrah
[Chronicle 2: The Aligning of the Ten]
[The Historian:]
This fateful day, we are gathered here inside this hall
To find a way to escape our pending fate
We lack the power to immobilize the 'Frame
We need to save our race and leave this world behind
But can we leave the rest... to die
[The President:]
You have all been chosen for your skills and expertise
I beg you to have faith in me and I vow to set you free
I see only one solution, we have to leave this dying world
But I need us to collaborate and together we will find a way
[The Astronomer:]
I found our destination near the Star of Sirrah
A sphere drowned in water in the Alpha Pegasi
[The Captain:]
I'll set the navigation for the Star of Sirrah
Fire up the Starblade, are you ready for the quest to our new world
[The Prophet:]
In the holy book of scripture, the Revelation of the Seals
It was prophesized this day would come, Armageddon was revealed
A Gathering of Sages, the Aligning of the Ten
They'll deliver us from evil and guide us to our sanctuary amid the stars
[The Astronomer:]
I found our destination near the Star of Sirrah
A sphere drowned in water in the Alpha Pegasi
[The Captain:]
I'll set the navigation for the Star of Sirrah
Fire up the Starblade, are you ready for the quest to our new world?
[The Chemist:]
You realize, if we're to live on an ocean world
To survive, we need to change and adapt
Liquid Eternity allows us to evolve
It's the Source of our rebirth, the essence of life!
[The Diplomat:]
The pieces fit, we've got all we need
Now the puzzle is complete
I hope the 'Frame will allow us to escape
We must bid Alpha goodbye and leave our friends to die!
[The Biologist and The Astronomer:]
We found our destination,
[The Biologist:]
Near the Star of Sirrah
A sphere drowned in water in the Alpha Pegasi
[The Biologist and The Captain:]
We'll set the navigation
[The Biologist:]
For the Star of Sirrah
Fire up the Starblade, we are ready for the quest to our new world!
