Ayreon, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Heather Findlay, Magnus Ekwall, Irene Jansen - The Theater Equation ACT 1, Scene 2 – Day two: Isolation (Live in Rotterdam) lyrics

I can't move, can't feel my body
I don't remember anything
What place is this, how did I get here?
I don't understand, what's happening
Am I alone?

You've been deserted, everyone has left you
You know it's always been that way
Those frantic years
The people you've neglected
Now the time has come to pay you're alone
No one here is dancing to your tune

Is this a dream or is it real?

Sometimes the dream becomes reality

But, I don't know what to feel

Then I will guide you through this haze

But who are you, why are you here?

I am you and you are all of us

I can't think, my mind ain't clear

Then I will free you from this maze

Can't you feel it burn deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire
Scorching your soul? A wounded man's desire
Out of control

I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the
Chance to make them pay

You've always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots
A heart as cold as ice

You are delusions of my mind

And so we are, we're all a part of you

Am I a part of some design?

The one design is in your head

How can it be, you look so real

We are as real as you imagine us

I can touch you, I can feel

Then take my hand and follow me

Can't you feel it burn deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire
Scorching your soul? A wounded man's desire
Out of control

I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the
Chance to make them pay

You've always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots
A heart as cold as ice

Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat
Surrender to it's soothing pulse

Silence the cries, gentle and carefree
Good or bad, true or false

You're not alone

You'll find me here whenever they oppose you
And I am the strongest of them all
No need to fear these
Feelings that enclose you
I'm here to catch you when you fall

You're not alone
I am here, dancing to your tune

I can't hear! Why can't I hear?
This is all so strange

Can't you feel it burn deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire
Scorching your soul? A wounded man's desire
Out of control

I can't believe you're giving up

(I can't believe)

That's not your way

(No)

I can't believe you'd pass the
Chance to make them pay

(To make them pay)

You've always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots
A heart as cold as ice
