Lyrics: Ayreon. Day Three: Pain.

Agony:
I am pain
I am real, I’m not a dream
I’m the chain
around your neck as you scream

Surrender now
You can’t beat death at his ruthless game
Make your bow
hang your head in shame

Me: I can’t believe there is no way out…
Agony: You’ll find you are wrong
Me: You fill me with doubt…
Agony: You were never that strong

Agony:
I am pain
I am the wound that never heals
It’s all in vain
No compromise, no deals…

Me: I can’t believe this is the end
Agony: It’s written in stone
Me: Where are my friends?
Agony: You have always been alone!

Rage:
(pain!) we lead, we hide as the pain leaves the rage inside
(motion personified alpha)
being here, welcomed by…a sane mind
a travelled lie

Agony:
I am pain
I am the end, I am your wraith
Nothing remains
I’m the loss of hope and faith

CHORUS : Me and Agony

Rage:
we lead, we hide as the pain leaves the rage inside
(motion personified alpha)
being here, welcomed by…a sane mind
a travelled lie
all the time, I had waited with rage
all the time, I was promised my salvation

Love:
I can’t accept this, we will find a way
Out of this cesspool of doom and dismay
Beyond this dejection there’s beauty and grace
A glorious future we long to embrace

Rage:
(pain!) all the time, I had waited with rage
(motion personified alpha)
all the time, I was promised my salvation
