20 - Ayreon - The Human Equation - Confrontation

20. Day Twenty: Confrontation

[Best Friend] See his mouth, he tries to speak
He cannot move, his voice is weak...
[Me] My dear friend can you hear me now?
I'll try to tell you how I feel
[Best Friend] I feel the pain inside of you
Tell me please, what can I do?
[Me] Listen well to what I have to say
I have to tell you...of my betrayal

[Me] I reveal the facts, it was clear
It spelled the end of your career
[Best Friend] Yes, I always felt that it was you
I repressed the thought although I knew the truth
[Me] The truth is out, I feel relieved
You hate me now, you've been deceived?
[Best Friend] Oh no, in a way we are even now
Come back to us...somehow

[Wife and Love] Cross that bridge to the other side
Follow your heart, you can't go wrong
Come with me, I will be your guide
And lead you back where you belong

[Agony] Welcome to reality, be ready for the pain
Welcome to reality, will it be in vain
Welcome to reality,
Nothing much has changed since you were gone

[Passion] Rise up and show the world you can be a better man
Rise up and show the world you care, yes you can
Rise up and show the world you're taking your chance
Rise up and show the world!
[Agony] Welcome back!

[Reason] Welcome to reality, wake up and rejoice
Welcome to reality, you've made the right choice
Welcome to reality, and let them hear your voice, shout it out!

[Pride] Rise up and show the world your battle is won
Rise up and show the world the old you is gone
Rise up and show the world your new life has begun
Rise up and show the world!
[Reason and Agony] Welcome back!

[Fear] Here inside the question burns
Are you sure of your return?
[Me] I am sure I deserve this chance
Now I understand it all
[Fear] It all seems so unreal to you
Can you decide what to do?
[Me] Yes I can, oh I will survive
Look at me...I'm alive

[Wife and Love] Cross that bridge to the other side
Follow your heart, you can't go wrong
Come with me, I will be your guide
And lead you back where you belong

[Best Friend] There is so much to see, there is so much to live for
[Wife] Come with me, my love
[Reason] You feel her warmth, glowing on your skin
[Love] You're never alone, I knew we could make it
[Fear] Aaaaaaaaarrrrgh!
[Passion] Can't you feel that fire, can't you feel it burn?
[Agony] Be ready for the pain, ready for the pain!
[Pride] Well rise up, your battle has been won, your new life has begun
[Me] I'm alive, I won't look back, aaaaah!

Emotions... I remember....

[superhomsar2112]

The last 2 minutes of this song are absolutely breathtaking. That growl Akerfeldt lets out is immense, it intensifies that moment by so much. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before.

I WON'T LOOK BAAAAYAAACK!! WAAAAHH--!!

[WolfhoundMercenary]

@putifarrix He came back to life and turned his life around (not being the old selfish and greedy businessman self)

[fnglert]

Can you feel the fire!! Can you feel it buuuuurn!!

[putifarrix]

My brain's so tiny, i couldn't understood, he cames back to life, or in the middle of the re-borning he is shutted down? best song ever

[sol800111]

Chills at the ending. Every. Single. Time.

[CaptainShtuff]

Damn, that ending is powerful.

[MaRaX93]

@kayxdragon or if they made a real life opera out of it

[MaRaX93]

@superhomsar2112 symbolizes that his fear was finally defeated...

[kayxdragon]

what an amazing album... just leaves you speechless, literally <3

it would be so awesome if they would´ve made some videos for this whole album... i wonder how that would´ve looked like^^

[swatdaman]

@PabloThrashmetal The outcome of the final experiment is now in your hands. Tic.. Tic.. Tic.. Tic.. Tic..

[CyanideSovereign]

Not the first time I've listen to this the whole way through, and it will not be the last. Not even death will stop me!
