Day Three: Pain - Ayreon

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

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!

(Pain!) 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 I 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

(Pain!) All the time, I have waited with rage

(Motion personified alpha)

All the time, I was promised my salvation
