Day Fourteen: Pride - Ayreon

I have always been creative, I don’t understand

Aspired to be an artist, not a business man

You need to show your old man you’re in control

To be successful, you’d sell your own soul!

I’ve always been respectable, I don’t understand

I tried to be compassionate, I’m not a ruthless man!

You need to show them you’re superior, you lead the field

No one opposes you, all man must yield!

I’ve always been affectionate, don’t understand

I really love her, I’m not a heartless man!

You have no time for commitments, they get in the way

Get down to business, there’s no time to play!

You can still change, and right what is wrong

But can you swallow me, or am I too strong?

You have to get back now, it’s not too late

It’s not like you to resign to your fate

The loved ones are waiting, break out of your cage

You have the power, give in to your rage

Listen to Pride now, for once now he’s right

Listen to Reason, let us be your guide
