Day Three: Pain
Ayreon
[Agony:]
I am pain
I am real, I’m not a dream
I’m the chain
Around your neck as you scream
Surrender now
You can’t beat death at his ruthless game
Make your bow
Hang your head in shame
[1st Refrain:]
[Me:] I can’t believe there is no way out
[Agony:] You’ll find you are wrong
[Me:] You fill me with doubt
[Agony:] You were never that strong
[Agony:]
I am pain
I am the wound that never heals
It’s all in vain
No compromise, no deals
[Me:] I can’t believe this is the end
[Agony:] It’s written in stone
[Me:] Where are my friends?
[Agony:] You have always been alone
[2nd Refrain:]
[Rage:]
(Pain!) We lead, we hide as the pain leaves the rage inside
(Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by... a sane mind
A travelled lie
[Agony:]
I am pain
I am the end, I am your wraith
Nothing remains
I’m the loss of hope and faith
[1st Refrain]
[2nd Refrain]
All the time, I had waited with rage
All the time, I was promised my salvation
[Love:]
I can’t accept this, we will find a way
Out of this cesspool of doom and dismay
Beyond this dejection there’s beauty and grace
A glorious future we long to embrace
[Rage:]
(Pain!) All the time, I had waited with rage
(Motion personified alpha)
All the time, I was promised my salvation
All the time, I had waited with rage
(Motion personified alpha)
All the time, I was promised my salvation
