Dream Theater - The X Aspect 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
