The X Aspect Dream Theater

[Instrumental Intro]

[Arhys]
Betray my blood to save my son
A hopeless choice to make
But who am I if not the one
Who's meant to keep him safe?

Is trust and loyalty still justified
If I deny him of a better life?

Gabriel has always been
The strength I called upon
But nothing breaks a father's will
To do what must be done

Should I turn my back on him?
Abandon all our plans for revolution?
Will hope and freedom die by morning light?

Evangeline, I swore to you
To love and guide our son
Destiny has shown his face
And now the time has come

Desperation blinds me
And through these bloodstained eyes I see the light
A better life is worth the sacrifice
