song list next song previous song Dream Theater: Once In A Livetime Dream Theater: Falling Into Infinity Hollow Years
(Dream Theater/Petrucci)
He's just the kind of man
You hear about
Who leaves his family for
An easy out
They never saw the signs
He never said a word
He couldn't take another day
Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of Hollow Years
She's not the kind of girl
You hear about
She'll never want another
She'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs
She'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of Hollow Years
Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of Hollow Years
song list Dream Theater: Letter I previous song Dream Theater: Through Her Eyes Dream Theater: Metropolis Part II - Scenes From A Memory Home
(music by Dream Theater / lyrics by Portnoy)
The Sleeper:
Shine - lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My rnind drips desire
Confined and overtired

Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home...
Home...It's what I long for
Back home...where I belong

This city - it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow - eternity
My demns are coming to drown me

Help - I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home

The Miracle:
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all nighr and cried...

I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one tnat has died...
I never thought  that I
Could carry on with this lie
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try

Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet tempation calls me home...
Home... It's what I long for
My home... where she belongs

Her ecstasy - means so much to me
Even deceiving my own blood
Victaria wathes and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home

Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away frorn her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home

Nicholas:
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocklng dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me

Help - regression, obsession
I can't keep away from it's clutch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home
