Lyrics Day Three: Pain - Ayreon

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

I can't believe there is no way out
(You'll find you are wrong)
You fill me with doubt
(You were never that strong)

I am pain (I am pain), I am the wound that never heals (I am the wound that never heals)
It's all in vain (it's all in vain), no compromise (no compromise), no deals! (No deal!)

I can't believe this is the end
(It's written in stone)
Where are my friends?
You have always been alone!

(Pain!) We lead, we hide, as the pain leaves the rage, inside (yeah-e-yeah)
(Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by a sane mind
(A travelled lie!)

I am pain (I am Pain)
I am the end (I am the end), I am your wraith (I am your wrath)
Nothing remains (nothing remains), I'm the loss of hope and faith (I'm the last of hope and faith)

I can't believe there is no way out
(You'll find you are wrong)
You fill me with doubt
(You were never that strong)

(Pain!) We lead, we hide, as the pain leaves the rage, inside (yeah-e-yeah)
(Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by a sane mind
(A travelled lie!)

All the time, I had waited with rage
All the time, I was promised my salvation (salvation)

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!

(Pain!) All the time, I had waited with rage
(Motion personified alpha)
All the time, I was promised my salvation
All the time, I had waited with rage
(Motion personified alpha)
All the time, I was promised my salvation (salvation)
