Henry's Plot - Ayreon, Tom Baker, Amanda Somerville

«Henry and Lavinia contrive to meet in secret

To discuss their sinister plan.

The guilty eyes of the two conspirators can scarcely meet,

As they sense that something terrible is about to be revealed

From within the inky depths of Lavinia’s crystal ball…»

The time has come, no turning back

Vengeance is at hand

You must be brave, with heart of stone

Come close, hear my plan

Plant the seed, twist the truth

He came to you that night

And told you that he yearns for her

In the afterlife

He waits tonight…

I understand, it must be done

I’m sure that we are right

Her guilty words still resonate

Like echoes in my mind

I’m well aware a fortune awaits

Passed on by right of birth

But dreams of wealth… her legacy

Is not where my motive lies

Not the reason why

Although… it does help…
