The X Aspect - Dream Theater

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 call 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 this sacrifice
