A Chenge Of Seasons 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Portnoy ]

I remember a time. My frail, virgin mind.
Watched the crimson sunrise. Imagined what it might find.
Life was filled with wonder. I felt the warm wind blow.
I must explore the boundaries.
Transcend the depth of winter's snow.

Innocence caressing me. I never felt so young before.
There was so much life in me. Still I longed to search for more.

But those days are gone now. Changed like a leaf on a tree.
Blown away forever. Into the cool autumn breeze.
The snow has now fallen. And my sun's not so bright.
I struggle to hold on. With the last of my might.

In my den of inequity. Viciousness and subtlety.
Struggle to ease the pain. Struggle to find the same.

Ignorance surrounding me. I've never been so filled with fear.
All my life's been drained from me. The end is drawing near...


"Carpe diem Seize the day"l

I'll always remember. The chill of Novemberl
The news of the fall. The sounds in the halll
The clock on the wall. Ticking away.
"Seize the Day". I heard him say.
Life will not always be this way.
Look around. Hear the sounds.
Cherish your life. While you're still around.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. Old Time is still a-flying.
And this same flower that smiles today. Tomorrow will be dying

We can learn. From the past. But those days. Are gone.
We can hope. For the future. But there might not be one.

The words stuck in my mind. Alive from what I've learned.
I have to seize the day. To home I returned.

Preparing for her flight. I held with all my might.
Fearing my deepest fright. She walked into the night.
She turned for one last look. She looked me in the eye.
I said, "I Love You...Good-bye"

("It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear")
("If you're lying to me..."). ("Oh, you dearly love her")
("...just have to leave...). (All our lives")
("Seize the day!"). ("Something happened")
("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may")
("She was killed")

So far or so it seems. All is lost. With nothing fulfilled.
Off the pages and the T.V. screen.
Another world. Where nothing's true.

Tripping through. The life fantastic.
Lose a step. And never get up.
Left alone. With a cold blank stare.
I feel like giving up.

I was blinded by a paradise. Utopia high in the sky.
A dream that only drowned me. Deep in sorrow, wondering why.

Oh come let us adore him. Abuse and then ignore him.
No matter what. Don't let him be.
Let's feed upon his misery.
Then string him up for all the world to see.

I'm sick of all. Your hypocrites. Holding me at bay.
And I don't need Your sympathy. To get me through the day.
Seasons change and so can I. Hold on Boy.
No time to cry. Untie these strings.
I'm climbing down. I won't let them push me away.

Oh come let us adore him. Abuse and then ignore him.
No matter what. Don't let him be.
Let's feed upon. His misery.
Now it's time for them. To deal with me.

I'm much wiser now. A lifetime of memories. Run through my head.
They taught me how. For better or worse. Alive or dead.
I realize. There's no turning back.
Life goes on. The offbeaten track.

I sit down with my son. Set to see the Crimson Sunset.
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may).
Many years have come and gone.
I've lived my life, but now must move on.
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may).
He's my only one. Now that my time has come.
Now that my life is done. We look into the sun.
"Seize the day. And don't you cry
Now it's time. To say good-bye
Even though. I'll be gone. I will live on. Live on"

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND / LOVE LIES BLEEDING 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Toupin ]

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Is gonna 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
While 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

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

Oooooh oooh..... Oooooh
Oh oh oh oh ooh.... Love lies bleeding in my hands
Oooh..... Oooh ooh

PERFECT STRANGERS 

[ Music Dream Theater & Lyric by Blackmore, Glover & Gillan ]

Can you remember. Remember my name.
As I flow through your life.
A thousand oceans I have flown. Ooooh and cold.
Cold spirits of ice (ice ice).
All my life. I am the echo of your past.

I am returning. The echo of a point in time. In distant faces shine.
A thousand warriors I have known. Ooooh and laughing
As the spirits appear. Ooooh all your life
Shadows of another day.

And if you hear me talking on the wind.
You've got to understand. We must remain
Perfect strangers.
Oooooh ooh

I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow. Oh.

A strand of silver. Hanging through the sky.
Touching more than you see.
The voice of ages in your mind. Ooooh is aching.
With the dead of the night. ohhh Precious life.
Your tears are lost in falling rain.

And if you hear me talking on the wind.
You've got to understand.
We must remain. Perfect strangers.

THE ROVER  / ACHILLES LAST STANDING

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Jimi Page & Robert Plan ]

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woah the songs to sing
When we at last return again yeah
Oh ... Oh ..

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Oh .. Ooh ..

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd yeah
Oh oooh

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Ooooh


Oh, yeah. Here we go.
Wanted to know, oh oh
Sing out Hare, Hare, oh.
Dance the Hoochie Koo
The city lights. Oh so bright
As we go sliding. Sliding, sliding, sliding
Through. Oooh. All right

THE BIG MEDLEY 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Roger Waters ]

So 'ya. Thought 'ya
Might like to. Go to the show.

To feel the warm thrill of confusion. That space cadet glow.

Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind this cold eyes?
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.

Lights... Roll the sound effects...Action...
Shout out! (shout out)
Shout out! (shout out)
Shout out! (shout out)


So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh, baby. Can't do this to me, baby.
Just gotta get out. Just gotta get right outta here.


You make me weep. And wanna die.
Just when. You said we'd try.
Lovin', touchin', squeezin'. Each other

When I'm alone. Oh by myself.
You're out. With someone else.
Lovin', touchin', squeezin'. Each other

You're tearin' me apart. Every day, every day.
You're tearin' me apart. Oh what can I say?
You're tearin' me apart.

It won't be long, no. Until you're alone.
When you're lover. Oh he hasn't come home.
'Cause he's lovin', oh he's touchin', he's squeezin'. Another.

He's tearin' you apart. Every day, every day.
He's tearin' you apart. Oh girl what can you say?.
'Cause he's lovin', touchin', another.
Now it's your turn, girl, to cry.

Turn it on.
Turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on again
