Ayreon - Day Five: Voices lyrics

[Pride] I hear voices, they are talking about you

Can you hear them, do you know what they mean?

Try to remember, what have you been through?

What do you know and what have you seen?

I can read the thoughts they conveying

So intense, can you feel them too?

I can't believe it's true what they're saying

You're far too strong, it couldn't happen to you

[Me] But what if there's truth in the words that they speak?

What do they signify?

[Pride] You worry too much

[Me] And what are the questions to answers I seek

What will they clarify?

[Pride] Yeah, you're losing your touch

[Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me...

[Reason] Who are these voices, where do they come from?

Should we try to understand?

Mere illusions, hallucinations?

They might be vital, to our plan

[Love] They sound familiar, they must be here to help you

All this confusion's tearing you apart

You must be patient, time is the healer

Open up and let them in your heart

[Fear] Their guilty sighs

I think you understand it all

You were afraid to live, now you're afraid to die...

You fool yourself

You rose so high, you were bound to fall

Longing for the truth, you lived a lie...

[Reason] I am convinced now, they are essential

They must be our way out of here

[Love] Listen and learn, let your heart lead you

And you will find the solution's near

[Fear] Their guilty signs

I think you understand it all

Long for the truth, you lived a lie...

[Pride] If they are right, we'll fight for survival

Look to the future, but learn from the past

Confront the danger; face up to your rival

Take a deep breath, we have to move fast

[Me] I think there is truth in the words that they speak

What do they signify?

[Pride] You worry way too much

[Me] I will find the answers to questions I seek

What will they clarify?

[Pride] You're losing your touch

[Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me...
