Dream Theater - The X Aspect lyrics

Betray 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 called 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?
Will hope and freedom die by morning light?

Evangeline i swore to you
To love and guide our son

Destiny has shown his face
And now the time has come

Desperation blinds me
And through these bloodstained eyes
I see the light
A better life is worth the sacrifice
