John Petrucci - The X Aspect lyrics

[Arhys] 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? Where hope and freedom die by morning light Evangeline I swore to you To love and guide our son Destiny Has shown us this 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
