Day Three: Pain - Live in Rotterdam in September 2015 Songtext
von Ayreon

Wake up, it′s only a dream!
Wake up!

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

I can't believe there is no way out
You′ll find you are wrong
You fill me with doubt
You were never that strong
What do you want?

I am pain, I am the wound that never heals
It′s all in vain, no compromise, no deals

I can't believe this is the end
It′s written in stone
Where are my friends?
You have always been alone!


We lead, we hide as the pain leaves
The rage inside (Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by... a sane mind
A travelled lie

I am pain, I am the end, I am your wraith
Nothing remains, I'm the loss of hope and faith

I can′t believe there is no way out
You'll find you are wrong
You fill me with doubt
You were never that strong

We lead, we hide as the pain leaves
The rage inside (Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by... a sane mind
A travelled lie
All the time, I had waited with rage
All the time, I was promised my salvation

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


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
