Day Two: Isolation Songtext
von Ayreon

I can′t move, I can't feel my body
I don′t remember anything
What place is this? How did I get here?
I don't understand, what's happening... Am I alone?

You′ve been deserted, everyone has left you
You know it′s always been that way
Those frantic years, the people you've neglected
Now the time has come to pay
You′re alone...
No one here is dancing to your tune

Is this a dream or is it real?
Sometimes the dream becomes reality!
But I don't know what to feel
Then I will guide you through this haze!
But who are you? Why are you here?
I am you and you are all of us
I can′t think, my mind ain't clear
Then I will free you from this maze


Can′t you feel it burn deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn? Don't try to hide!
Can′t you feel that fire scorching you soul?
A wounded man′s desire out of control!

I can't believe you′re giving up! That's not your way!
I can′t believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay!
You always had complete control, never thinking twice
You always called the shots: a heart as cold as ice

You are delusions of my mind
And so we are, we′re all a part of you
Am I a part of some design?
The one design is in your head
How can it be you look so real?
We are as real as you imagine us
I can touch you, I can feel...
Then take my hand and follow me

Can't you feel it burn, deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn? Don′t try to hide!
Can′t you feel that fire scorching you soul?
A wounded man's desire out of control!


I can′t believe you're giving up! That′s not your way!
I can't believe you′d pass the chance to make them pay!
You always had complete control, never thinking twice
You always called the shots: a heart as cold as ice

Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat
Surrender to its soothing pulse
Silence the cries, gentle and carefree
Good or bad, true or false...
You're not alone

You'll find me here whenever they oppose you
I am the strongest of them all
No need to fear these feelings that enclose you
I′m here to catch you when you fall
You′re not alone
I am here dancing to your tune

Can't you feel it burn deep down inside?
Won′t you ever learn? Don't try to hide!
Can′t you feel that fire scorching you soul?
A wounded man's desire out of control!

I can′t believe you're giving up! That's not your way!
I can′t believe you′d pass the chance to make them pay!
You always had complete control, never thinking twice
You always called the shots; a heart as cold as ice
