The Theater Equation ACT 2, Scene 5 – Day fifteen: Betrayal (Live in Rotterdam)
[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
This is what you dreamt about
Director of the firm
Will it be you, or your best friend?
He's always been the better man and
He fits all their terms
What will you do to gain your end?

[Agony: Devon Graves]
You remember he once told you
He tampered with the books
When he lost out on the deal
You're digging up the evidence
No one looks
You leave it there for all to see

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
This memory burns inside
You can't forget, you cannot fight or erase it

[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Let it go, try to unwind!

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
You'll have to tell and set it right
You cannot run, you cannot hide, so face it!
[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Wake up, free your mind!

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
You'll never talk, he'll never know
What you have done
But can you live with this betrayal?

[Agony: Devon Graves]
They found him out and let him go
I guess you've won
But one day, the truth might be unveiled

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
This memory burns inside
You can't forget, you cannot fight or erase it

[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Let it go, try to unwind!

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
You'll have to tell and set it right
You cannot run, you cannot hide, so face it!

[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Wake up, free your mind!
[Reason: Eric Clayton]
This memory burns inside
You can't forget, you cannot fight or erase it

[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Let it go, try to unwind!

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
You'll have to tell and set it right
You cannot run, you cannot hide, so face it!

[Passion: Irene Jansen]
Wake up, free your mind!

[Me: James LaBrie]
I have to talk and let him know
What I have done
I cannot live with this betrayal
He's always been the better man
I never won
Now the truth must be unveiled
