The Lighthouse Lyrics by Ayreon

The Theory of Everything

2013

After being rejected by the Girl, the Prodigy turns to his only friend, the Teacher. The Prodigy needs a safe place where he can work on the Theory of Everything and take time to sort himself out. The Teacher knows of the perfect place - there's an old renovated lighthouse up for sale. After pulling off the bank scam with the Rival, money is no object: the Prodigy buys the lighthouse and retreats there, virtually going "off the grid." The teacher is the only one who knows his whereabouts, and checks on him everyday

[Teacher]
It's time to put things in perspective
Find your way again
Let me take you to the lighthouse
Where you can hide away

[Prodigy]
I only want to be alone
To work the numbers on my own
I need to show my father
I need to show them all... I am the one

[Teacher] Your time has come
[Prodigy] To unlock the equation
[Both] The Theory of Everything

[Teacher]
If you're troubled by the visions
The chaos in your mind
If the voices start to whisper
Call me, day or night!

[Prodigy]: Don't worry, I'll be fine
[Teacher]: Don't underestimate the danger
[Prodigy]: I'm gonna make the theory shine
[Teacher]: You'll regret it sooner or later
[Prodigy]
I need to show my father
I need to show them all...
I am the one
[Teacher]: Our time has come
[Prodigy]: I will find the equation
[Both]: The Theory of Everything
