Ayreon - Day Fifteen: Betrayal lyrics

[Fear] This is what you dreamt about

Director of the firm

Will it be you, or your best friend?

He's always been the better man and

He fits all their terms

What will you do to gain your end...

[Agony] You remember he once told you

He tampered with the books

When he lost out on the deal

You're digging up the evidence

...no one looks

You leave it there for all to see

[Reason] This memory burns inside

You can't forget, you cannot fight or erase it

[Passion] Let it go, try to unwind

[Reason] You'll have to tell and set it right

You cannot run, you cannot hide, so face it!

[Passion] Wake up, free your mind

[Fear] You never talk, he'll never know

What you have done

But can you live with this betrayal?

[Agony] They found him out and let him go

I guess you've won

But one day, the truth might be unveiled

[Reason] This memory burns inside

You can't forget, you cannot fight or erase it

[Passion] Let it go, try to unwind

[Reason] You'll have to tell and set it right

You cannot run, you cannot hide, so face it!

[Passion] Wake up, free your mind

[Me] I have to talk and let him know

What I have done

I cannot live with this betrayal

He's always been the better man

I never won

Now the truth must be unveiled
