The Theater Equation ACT 1, Scene 5 – Day five: Voices (Live in Rotterdam)

Lyrics

[Pride: Magnus Ekwall] I hear voices, they are talking about you Can you hear them, do you know what they mean? Try to remember, what have you been through What do you know and what have you seen? I can read the thoughts they are conveying So intense, can you feel them too? I can't believe it's true what they're saying You're far too strong, it couldn't happen to you [Me: James LaBrie] But what if there's truth in the words that they speak What do they signify? [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] You worry too much [Me: James LaBrie] And what are the questions to answers I seek What will they clarify? [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] Yeah, you're losing your touch [Me: James LaBrie] Hеlp me out, this means nothing to me [Wife: Marcela Bovio] "Nursе! Is he dying?" [Nurse] "Please wait outside." [Reason: Eric Clayton] Who are these voices, where do they come from? Should we try to understand? Mere illusions, hallucinations? They might be vital, to our plan [Love: Heather Findlay] They sound familiar They must be here to help you All this confusion's tearing you apart You must be patient, time is the healer Open up and let them in your heart [Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen] Their guilty sighs I think you understand it all You were afraid to live, now you're afraid to die You fool yourself You rose so high, you were bound to fall Longing for the truth, you lived a lie [Doctor] "You know, tremors like these are common in a trauma patient." [Nurse] "He'll make it?" [Doctor] "It's too soon to tell." [Solo] [Reason: Eric Clayton] I am convinced now, they are essential They must be our way out of here [Love: Heather Findlay] Listen and learn, let your heart lead you And you will find the solution's near [Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen] Their guilty sighs I think you understand it all Long for the truth, you lived a lie [Doctor] "It is very important that he wants to live If he gives up now, there is nothing we can do Is he a fighter?" [Wife] "Yes, yes he is." [Doctor] "That's good That's very good." [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] If they are right, we'll fight for survival Look to the future, but learn from the past Confront the danger, face up to your rival Take a deep breath, we have to move fast [Me: James LaBrie] I think there is truth in the words that they speak What do they signify? [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] You worry way too much [Me: James LaBrie] I will find the answers to questions I seek What will they clarify? [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] (Yeah) You're losing your touch [Me: James LaBrie] Help me out, this means nothing to me [Pride: Magnus Ekwall] (Yeah) You're losing your touch (Oh) You worry way too much
