Lyrics Ayreon – Day Five: Voices

Pride
I hear voices, they are talking about you
Can you hear them, do you know what they mean?
Try to remember, what have you been through?

I can read the thoughts they’re conveying
So intense, can you feel them too?
I can’t believe it’s true what they’re saying
You’re far too strong, it couldn’t happen to you

Me
But what if there’s truth in the words that they speak?
What do they signify?
Pride
You worry too much
Me
And what are the questions to answers I seek
What will they clarify?
Pride
Yeah, you’re losing your touch
Me
Help me out, this means nothing to me…

Reason
Who are these voices, where do they come from?
Should we try to understand?
Mere illusions, hallucinations?
They might be vital, to our plan

Love
They sound familiar, they must be here to help you
All this confusion’s tearing you apart
You must be patient, time is the healer

Fear
Their guilty sighs
I think you understand it all
You were afraid to live, now you’re afraid to die…

You fool yourself
You rose so high, you were bound to fall
Longing for the truth, you lived a lie…

Reason
I am convinced now, they are essential
They must be our way out of here

Love
Listen and learn, let your heart lead you
And you will find the solution’s near

Fear
Their guilty signs
I think you understand it all
Longing for the truth, you lived a lie…

Pride
If they are right, we’ll fight for survival
Look to the future, but learn from the past
Confront the danger; face up to your rival
Take a deep breath, we have to move fast

Me
I think there is truth in the words that they speak
What do they signify?
Pride
You worry way too much
Me
I will find the answers to questions I seek
What will they clarify?
Pride
You’re losing your touch
Me
Help me out, this means nothing to me…
