Old Friend Songtext
von Ayreon

Like most children
Daniel had imaginary friends
When he was very young
His favourite was
A statue of a brave Roman soldier
In the family garden


Daniel had long since outgrown such childish things
But now, heartsick
With the impossible choice before him
He finds himself turning again
To his old friend of stone

Old friend, it′s me again
Once more I turn to you
You were always there for me
You always pulled me through

Old friend
I'm sure you′ve seen
I'm captured by her charm
But a hopeless choice waits for me
Home or the heart?
It tears me apart


What should I do?
