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
Writer(s): Jordan Rudess, John Petrucci
