Текст Dream Theater — Honor Thy Father

We’re taught unconditional love,
That blood is thicker than water,
That a parent’s world would revolve
Always around their son or their daughter,
You pretended I was your own
And even believed that you loved me
But were always threatened by some
Invisible blood line that only you could see

You took advantage of an outreached hand
And twisted it to meet your every need,
‘Gimme time to re-charge my batteries,
I’ll see her when she’s older and I’ll bounce her on my knee’,
Well listen to me you ungrateful fool,
Here comes a dose of reality,
You’ll go to your grave a sad and lonely man,
The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan

On and on and on and on it goes,
It’s so easy to run away with NOTHING IN TOW

How can you ever sleep a wink at night,
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the nerve to blame this mess on me?

Never in my life have I seen someone
So Ignorant to the damage he has done,
You’re the rotted root in the family tree, yeah

I tried your four bill therapy, I tried to make amends
But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again

Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet,
Don’t you see respect is not a one-way street?
Blaming everyone for all that you’ve done wrong,
I’ll get my peace of mind when you hear this song

On and on and on and on it goes
And with every passing day true COLORS SHOW

How can you ever sleep a wink at night,
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this mess on me?

Never in my life have I seen someone
Oblivious to the damage he has done,
You’re the rotted root in the family tree

Watch where you walk,
Don’t you dare cross the crooked step,
Watch the way you talk

Don’t cross the crooked step

«This is a regret that you make»
«We’re still connected»
«This is a regret that you make-»
«I want my family back»
«-and there’s something you take»
«You can’t have it. I’m sorry for you, but it’s too late…»
«Mistakes like this… you don’t make»
«Can’t you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?»
«You make some… and they’ll get to you»
«You don’t love anybody»
«I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in-»
«It’s not OK, son»
«-but don’t that mean something?»
«Do I admire people too much?»
«No… you should do better»
«That disappoints you…»
«God damn regrets!»
«You deserve to die alone for what you have done!»
«GOD DAMN REGRETS!»
«Don’t deny it»
«You cocksucker, I know you’re here.»
«Don’t deny it»
«I want you to know I hate your fucking guts.»
«The biggest regret in my life»
«I wish you’d fucking die.»
«I’ve let my love go»
«I’m your blood… I’m your family»
«Is that you?»
«You’re not my family, not anymore»
«The fucking regrets!»
«When your own flesh and blood renounces you…»
«What did I do?»
«…you have no choice but to renounce them.»
«WHAT DID I DO?»

On and on and on and on it goes,
Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, COLD

How can you ever sleep a wink at night,
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this shit on me?

Never in my life have I seen someone
So fucking blind to the damage he has done,
You’re the rotted root in the family tree, yeah
