Ayreon - Day Fourteen: Pride lyrics

[Me] I have always been creative, I don't understand

Aspired to be an artist, not a business man

[Pride] You need to show your old man you're in control

To be successful, you'd sell you own soul!

[Me] I've always been respectable, I don't understand

I tried to be compassionate, I'm not a ruthless man!

[Pride] You need to show them you're superior, you lead the field

No one opposes you, all man must yield!

[Me] I've always been affectionate, don't understand

I really love her, I'm not a heartless man!

[Pride] You have no time for commitments, they get in the way

Get down to business, there's no time to play!

[Reason] You can still change, and right what is wrong

[Pride] But can you swallow me, or am I too strong?

[Reason] You have to get back now, it's not too late

[Pride] It's not like you two resign to your fate

[Reason] The loved ones are waiting, break out of you cage

[Pride] You have the power, give in to your rage

[Reason] Listen to Pride now, for once now he's right

[Pride] Listen to Reason, let us be your guide
