[Lyrics for Ayreon – Day Fourteen Pride]
Me I have always been creative, I don’t understand
Aspired to be an artist, not a business man
Pride You need to show your old man you’re in control
To be successful, you’d sell your own soul!
(you’d sell your own soul!)
Me I’ve always been respectable, I don’t understand
I tried to be compassionate, I’m not a ruthless man!
Pride You need to show them you’re superior, you lead the field
No one opposes you, all man must yield!
(all man must yield!)
Me I’ve always been affectionate, I don’t understand
I really love her, I’m not a heartless man!
Pride You have no time for commitments, they get in the way
Get down to business, there’s no time to play!
Reason You can still change, and right what is wrong
Pride But can you swallow me, or am I too strong?
Reason You have to get back now, it’s not too late
Pride It’s not like you two resign to your fate
Reason Your loved ones are waiting, break out of you cage
Pride You have the power, give in to your rage
Reason Listen to Pride now, for once he is right
Pride Listen to Reason, let us be your guide
