Dream Theater The X Aspect lyrics

[INT. Home of Arhys and X - Night]

[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 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
