The Theater Equation ACT 2, Scene 13 – Day twenty: Confrontation (Live in Rotterdam) Lyrics by Ayreon

The Theater Equation

2016

[Best Friend: Jermain 'Wudstik' Van Der Bogt]
See his mouth, he tries to speak
He cannot move, his voice is weak
[Me: James LaBrie]
My dear friend can you hear me now?
I'll try to tell you how I feel
[Best Friend: Jermain 'Wudstik' Van Der Bogt]
I feel the pain inside of you
Tell me please, what can I do?
[Me: James LaBrie]
Listen well to what I have to say
I have to tell you
Of my betrayal
I reveal the facts, it was clear
It spelled the end of your career
[Best Friend: Jermain 'Wudstik' van der Bogt]
Yes, I always felt that it was you
I repressed the thought although I knew the truth
[Me: James LaBrie]
The truth is out, I feel reliеved
You hate me now, you'vе been deceived?
[Best Friend: Jermain 'Wudstik' van der Bugt]
Oh no, in a way we are even now
Come back to us
Somehow
[Wife and Love: Marcela Bovio & Heather Findlay]
Cross that bridge to the other side
Follow your heart, you can't go wrong
Come with me, I will be your guide
And lead you back where you belong
[Agony: Devon Graves]
Welcome to reality, be ready for the pain
Welcome to reality, will it be in vain
Welcome to reality
Nothing much has changed since you were gone
[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Rise up and show the world you can be a better man
Rise up and show the world you care, yes you can
Rise up and show the world you're taking your chance
Rise up and show the world!
[Agony: Devon Graves]
Welcome back!
[Reason: Eric Clayton]
Welcome to reality, wake up and rejoice
Welcome to reality, you've made the right choice
Welcome to reality, and let them hear your voice, shout it out!
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
Rise up and show the world your battle is won
Rise up and show the world the old you is gone
Rise up and show the world your new life has begun
Rise up and show the world!
[Reason and Agony: Eric Clayton & Devon Graves]
Welcome back!
[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
Here inside the question burns
Are you sure of your return?
[Me: James LaBrie]
Yes I can, I deserve the chance
Now I understand it all
[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
It all seems so unreal to you
Can you decide what to do?
[Me: James LaBrie]
Yes I can, oh I will survive
Look at me
I'm alive
[Epic Rock Choir]
Cross that bridge to the other side
Follow your heart, you can't go wrong
[Best Friend: Jermain 'Wudstik' van der Bugt]
There is so much to see, there is so much to live for
[Epic Rock Choir]
Come with me, I will be your guide
And lead you back where you belong
[Wife: Marcela Bovio]
Come to me, my love
[Epic Rock Choir]
Cross that bridge to the other side
Follow your heart, you can't go wrong
[Reason: Eric Clayton]
You feel her warmth, glowing on your skin
[Love: Heather Findlay]
You're never alone
[Epic Rock Choir]
Come with me, I will be your guide
And lead you back where you belong
[Love: Heather Findlay]
I knew we could make it
[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
Aaaaaaaaarrrrgh!
[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Can't you feel that fire, can't you feel it burn?
[Agony: Devon Graves]
Be ready for the pain, ready for the pain!
[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
Well rise up
Your battle has been won
Your new life has begun
[Me: James LaBrie]
I'm alive
I won't look back
Aaaaah!
