Day Fifteen: Betrayal Lyrics - The Theater Equation - Ayreon

[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
