song list next song Dream Theater: Letter E Dream Theater: Metropolis Part II - Scenes From A Memory Fatal Tragedy
(music by Dream Theater / lyrics by Myung)
Nicholas:
Alone at night
I feel so strange
I need to find
All the answers to my dreams

When I sleep at night
I hear the cries
What does this mean?

I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him
He talked to me that night;

"Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?"
"This fatal tragedy was tatked about for years"
Victoria's gone forever
Only memories remain
She passed away
She was so young

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

As the night went on
I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy
A mystery still today

I tried to get more answers
But he said, "You're on your own."
Then he turned away and left me
As I stand there all alone
He said, "You'll know the truth
As your future days unfold"

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind
song list next song previous song Dream Theater: Metropolis Part II - Scenes From A Memory Finally Free
(music by Dream Theater / lyrics by Portnoy)
The Miracle:
Friday evening
The blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful man
Sole survivor
No witness to the crime
I must act fast to cover up
I think that there's still time

He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note
They'll buy into the words that I wrote

"This feeling inside me
Finally found my love,  I've finally broke free
No longer turn in two
I'd take my own life before losing you"

Victoria:
Feeling good this Friday afternoon
I run into Julian
Said we'd get together soon

He's always had my heart
He needs to know
I'1I break free of the Miracle
It's tine for him to go

This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer turn in two
He'd kill his brother if he only knew

Their love renewed
They'd rendezvous
In a pathway out of view
They thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night

The Sleeper:
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We fade away

As their bodies lie still
And the ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear
A blinding light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for new
A familiar voice comes shining through...

Nicholas:
This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
I learned about my life by living through you

This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you

We'll meet again my friend someday soon...
song list next song previous song Dream Theater: Through Her Eyes Dream Theater: Live At The Marquee Dream Theater: When Dream And Day Unite A Fortune In Lies
(Dream Theater)
I can remember when,
In the unity of our five-day sessions
Not even once did we hear the siren song
What kind of imagination
Asleep in some lyrical coma
Who's vain futile memory
Could have been so wrong?

  You can make a fortune in lies
  You can keep a giant alive
  You can ride the red
  Until everybody smiles

A trifling euphoria
was such an untimely religion
maybe your life can explain
the reason for my indecision
Here is a poor man
the heart of this monster creation
He said we both will be heroes
and I was led into temptation

  You can make a fortune in lies
  You can keep a giant alive
  You can ride the red
  Until everybody smiles

Can you show me your gold
and your silver?
A hero in frozen water

  Now you've made a fortune in lies
  and you kept a giant alive
  You rode the red
  You rode the red
song list Dream Theater: Letter G previous song Dream Theater: A Change of Seasons Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding
(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
