The X Aspect

The Astonishing

Lyrics 

Betrayed my blood
 To save my son
 A hopeless choice to make
 But who am I, if not the one who's meant to keep him safe?
 Is trust and loyalty still justified,
 
 If I deny him of a better life?
 Gabriel has always been
 ♪
 The strength I call upon
 But nothing breaks
 A father's will
 To do what must be done
 Should I turn my back on him,
 Abandon all our plans for revolution?
 Where hope and freedom die by morning light
 Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son
 Destiny has shown its face, and now the time has come
 Desperation blinds me
 And through these blood-stained eyes I see the light
 A better life is worth this sacrifice
