Dream Theater The X Aspect song lyrics

Betrayed my blood

To save my son

A hopeless choice to make

But who am I, if not the one who's meant to keep him safe?

Is trust and loyalty still justified,

If I deny him of a better life?

Gabriel has always been

The strength I call upon

But nothing breaks

A father's will

To do what must be done

Should I turn my back on him,

Abandon all our plans for revolution?

Where hope and freedom die by morning light

Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son

Destiny has shown its face, and now the time has come

Desperation blinds me

And through these blood-stained eyes I see the light

A better life is worth this sacrifice
