The Theater Equation ACT 1, Scene 2 – Day two: Isolation (Live in Rotterdam)

Lyrics

[Me: James LaBrie] I can't move, can't feel my body I don't remember anything What place is this, how did I get here? I don't understand, what's happening Am I alone? [Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen] You've been deserted, everyone has left you You know it's always been that way Those frantic years, the people you've neglected Now the time has come to pay You're alone No one here is dancing to your tune [Me: James LaBrie] Is this a dream or is it real? [Reason: Eric Clayton] Sometimes the dream becomes reality [Me: James LaBrie] But I don't know what to feel [Reason: Eric Clayton] Then I will guide you through this haze [Me: James LaBrie] But who are you, why are you here? [Reason: Eric Clayton] I am you and you are all of us [Me: James LaBrie] I can't think, my mind ain't clear [Reason: Eric Clayton] Then I will free you from this maze [Passion: Irene Jansen] Can't you feel it burn Deep down inside? Won't you ever learn Don't try to hide Can't you feel that fire Scorching your soul? A wounded man's desire Out of control [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] I can't believe you're giving up That's not your way I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay You've always had complete control Never thinking twice You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice [Me: James LaBrie] You are delusions of my mind [Reason: Eric Clayton] And so we are, we're all a part of you [Me: James LaBrie] Am I a part of some design? [Reason: Eric Clayton] The one design is in your head [Me: James LaBrie] How can it be, you look so real [Reason: Eric Clayton] We are as real as you imagine us [Me: James LaBrie] I can touch you, I can feel [Reason: Eric Clayton] Then take my hand and follow me [Passion: Irene Jansen] Can't you feel it burn Deep down inside? Won't you ever learn Don't try to hide Can't you feel that fire Scorching your soul? A wounded man's desire Out of control [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] I can't believe you're giving up That's not your way I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay You've always had complete control Never thinking twice You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice [Love: Heather Findlay] Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat Surrender to its soothing pulse Silence the cries, gentle and carefree Good or bad, true or false You're not alone You'll find me here whenever they oppose you And I am the strongest of them all No need to fear these feelings that enclose you I'm here to catch you when you fall You're not alone I am here, dancing to your tune [Me: James LaBrie] I can't hear! Why can't I hear? This is all so strange... [Solo] [Passion: Irene Jansen & Epic Rock Choir] Can't you feel it burn Deep down inside? Won't you ever learn Don't try to hide Can't you feel that fire Scorching your soul? A wounded man's desire Out of control [Epic Rock Choir] I can't believe you're giving up [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] (I can't believe) [Epic Rock Choir] That's not your way [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] (No) [Epic Rock Choir] I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] (To make them pay) [Epic Rock Choir] You've always had complete control Never thinking twice You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice
