Lyrics Daniel's Funeral - Ayreon, Tom Baker, Amanda Somerville

Daniel's Funeral

«I wish I could tell you that Henry and the
Townspeople managed to save our poor Daniel.
But alas, it was not to be.
Days later, a somber crowd gathers for Daniel’s funeral.
And under all the sadness, tensions are running high…»
She came to us that frightful night
She said she killed him, or at least implied
Then I saw his face, the very moment he died
From out of nowhere he materialized
It must be a sign, I know, I sensed him too
He needs us to know… she did it
I will see justice done, I will lay his soul to rest
And the whole world will know… she’s guilty
Am I going mad?
I even feel his pain
Please don’t dismiss me, I know it sounds insane
We need a plan, he must be avenged
Only we can free him, on us he depends
You have to be strong, there’s no time for compassion
You must be released… from the screaming
You know when she’s gone… a fortune waits for you
And you can let go of your demons!
But how far must we go, can we really be so sure
They all seem convinced, but didn’t see it
Can we live with ourselves, if we learn that we were wrong!
I know she confessed… but did she mean it?
