The Theater Equation ACT 1, Scene 5 – Day five: Voices (Live in Rotterdam) Lyrics by Ayreon

The Theater Equation

2016

[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
I hear voices, they are talking about you
Can you hear them, do you know what they mean?
Try to remember, what have you been through
What do you know and what have you seen?
I can read the thoughts they are conveying
So intense, can you feel them too?
I can't believe it's true what they're saying
You're far too strong, it couldn't happen to you
[Me: James LaBrie]
But what if there's truth in the words that they speak
What do they signify?
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
You worry too much
[Me: James LaBrie]
And what are the questions to answers I seek
What will they clarify?
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
Yeah, you're losing your touch
[Me: James LaBrie]
Hеlp me out, this means nothing to me
[Wife: Marcela Bovio]
"Nursе! Is he dying?"
[Nurse]
"Please wait outside."
[Reason: Eric Clayton]
Who are these voices, where do they come from?
Should we try to understand?
Mere illusions, hallucinations?
They might be vital, to our plan
[Love: Heather Findlay]
They sound familiar
They must be here to help you
All this confusion's tearing you apart
You must be patient, time is the healer
Open up and let them in your heart
[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
Their guilty sighs
I think you understand it all
You were afraid to live, now you're afraid to die
You fool yourself
You rose so high, you were bound to fall
Longing for the truth, you lived a lie
[Doctor]
"You know, tremors like these are common in a trauma patient."
[Nurse]
"He'll make it?"
[Doctor]
"It's too soon to tell."
[Solo]
[Reason: Eric Clayton]
I am convinced now, they are essential
They must be our way out of here
[Love: Heather Findlay]
Listen and learn, let your heart lead you
And you will find the solution's near
[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
Their guilty sighs
I think you understand it all
Long for the truth, you lived a lie
[Doctor]
"It is very important that he wants to live
If he gives up now, there is nothing we can do
Is he a fighter?"
[Wife]
"Yes, yes he is."
[Doctor]
"That's good
That's very good."
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
If they are right, we'll fight for survival
Look to the future, but learn from the past
Confront the danger, face up to your rival
Take a deep breath, we have to move fast
[Me: James LaBrie]
I think there is truth in the words that they speak
What do they signify?
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
You worry way too much
[Me: James LaBrie]
I will find the answers to questions I seek
What will they clarify?
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
(Yeah) You're losing your touch
[Me: James LaBrie]
Help me out, this means nothing to me
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
(Yeah) You're losing your touch
(Oh) You worry way too much
