The Theater Equation ACT 1, Scene 3 – Day three: Pain (Live in Rotterdam)

[Me: James LaBrie]
Wake up, it's only a dream!
Wake up!

[Agony: Devon Graves]
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: James LaBrie]
I can't believe there is no way out

[Agony: Devon Graves]
You'll find you are wrong

[Me: James LaBrie]
You fill me with doubt

[Agony: Devon Graves]
You were never that strong

[Me: James LaBrie]
What do you want?

[Agony: Devon Graves]
I am pain
I am the wound that never heals
It's all in vain
No compromise, no deals

[Me: James LaBrie]
I can't believe this is the end

[Agony: Devon Graves]
It's written in stone

[Me: James LaBrie]
Where are my friends?

[Agony: Devon Graves]
You have always been alone!

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Pain!

[Epic Rock Choir]
We lead
We hide as the pain leaves the rage inside

(Emotion personified alpha)

[Epic Rock Choir]
Being here, welcomed by
A sane mind

[Rage: Mike Mills]
A travelled lie

[Agony: Devon Graves]
I am pain
I am the end, I am your wraith

Nothing remains
I'm the loss of hope and faith

[Me: James LaBrie]
I can't believe there is no way out

[Agony: Devon Graves]
You'll find you are wrong

[Me: James LaBrie]
You fill me with doubt

[Agony: Devon Graves]
You were never that strong

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Pain!

[Epic Rock Choir]
We lead, we hide as the pain leaves the rage inside

(Emotion personified alpha)

[Epic Rock Choir]
Being here, welcomed by
A sane mind

[Rage: Mike Mills]
A travelled lie

[Epic Rock Choir]
All the time, I had waited with

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Rage!

[Epic Rock Choir]
All the time, I was promised my

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Salvation!

[Love: Heather Findlay]
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: Mike Mills]
Pain!

[Epic Rock Choir]
All the time, I had waited with

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Rage

(Emotion personified alpha)

[Epic Rock Choir]
All the time, I was promised my

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Salvation!

[Epic Rock Choir]
All the time, I had waited with

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Rage

(Emotion personified alpha)

[Epic Rock Choir]
All the time, I was promised my

[Rage: Mike Mills]
Salvation!
