A FORTUNE IN LIES 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci ]

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

STATUS SEEKER 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Dominici & Petrucci ]

Heart sick at the sight of the Status Seeker.
In a sense I'm not beyond reproach.
the aspiration to drop a name.
When any rose might smell the same.
Maybe you'll figure it out someday.
"I want to know you now...
You know I've always believed in you."

Nothing is sacred...You draw the bottom line with a dollar sign.
Change of opinion...At the drop of a dime.
Graceless intrusion...Are you sanctified in your judgment of me?
All that I deserve is what you were unable to see.

In a garden where the seeds were spilled.
I favored the few that stood strong in the sun.
As I reached for the profit of my prize.
I found I had trampled the forgotten ones.

Nothing is sacred...You draw the bottom line with a dollar sign.
Change of opinion...At the drop of a dime.
Graceless intrusion...Are you sanctified in your judgment of me?
All that I deserve is what you were unable to see.

You're running in circles. And I'm turning away.
You refused to believe. Now I'm turning away.

Nothing is sacred...You draw the bottom line with a dollar sign.
Change of opinion...At the drop of a dime.
Graceless intrusion...Are you sanctified in your judgment of me?
All that I deserve is what you were unable to see.

You're running in circles. And I'm turning away.
You refused to believe. Now I'm turning away

THE KILLING HAND 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

An Angel's kiss now fallen. Descending scarlet cuts the sky.
Faded names left on the wall. Honor the fighting leave life to die.

Remembered is the sacrifice but No praisal of blood still flowing.
Who were the leaders? what controlled the Killing Hand.
that caused this mouthing?
Crossing over...


Lowered deep into the sea.Being a waits to cleanse his soul.senses weakening time is still Motionless by stiffening cold.

The wheels race back and Scorch his mind.
Travelling all to find the land.
Revelation warms a touch And now he will begin toUnderstand


Extended a view to yesterday. Manifestation for none the same
Walking amidst a frightening still.
No sound, no smoke, no scorching Flames

He is risen...

Sipping his poison the raven sings. Yet another to add more bodies fallen
King from below. this one controls.
the Killing Hand that caused this mourning

Is it all over?


Evil genius this secret plan. Mercy dealt with the losing hand.
Will he ever fall? Can he end it all?
Our savior must make his stand.

Only a Propher of years to come. Wanting mortality I'm all alone.
He heard my voice. It was my choice.
I've stopped the Killing Hand

When I go back again. Will it be the same?
I've stopped the cries. But now they know my name.

The sea is calling me. my spirit must return.
As I get closer, was it really worth. what I have learned?

I'm in the valley. And the saddened chimes I hear.
Race towards the wall to find. one more name appears.

No one is left now. my one and only land.
I laugh at what I've done. I am the Killing Hand

LIGT FUSE AND GET AWAY 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Moore ]

Would you like to sit and talk to me.
about the way things change so suddenly.
when your senses come and the feeling goes?
can you remember feeling much too close?

Stop your hands from shaking. Look at me.
Are your senses racing endlessly tracing.
past impressions? So were mine.
Have you ever been used or will this be the first time?

It's come so clear to me. Light fuse and get away.
No gain, no pain. It's a fatal game and the true lose everything.

I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me.
falling miles from the mark.
with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart.

I've tried to wash from memory.
feelings of betrayal and the incidents.
that plague me since I lost my sense of innocence

A history of changes now I'm loving.
now I'm losing keeps me constantly.
in fear of hearing "I can't see where this is going"

You lie alone with the memory
feeling the ceiling and walls closing in on.
Your Conscience - my ally
the guilt - your affliction
from preying on praise as you fed
an attention addiction

Someone told me. Light fuse and get away.
No gain, no pain. and when it's lust to dust you can
crawl from the wreckage

I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me.
lying bleeding in the dark.
with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart.

It's come so clear to me. Light fuse and get away
No gain, no pain. It's a fatal game
and the true lose everything

I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me
falling miles from the mark
with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart

AFTER LIFE 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Dominici ]

I touched with one. who made me run.
away from my own soul...
In this world with its many illusions.
We are moving like mice through a maze.

And now I find. what's left behind.
has served to make me whole.
full of doubt, deception, and delusion.
seeking purpose to all earthly days.

I search within. beneath a skin.
that bears both pleasure and pain.
In a world full of constant confusion.
I will not be a par to the craze.

In the Afterlife. will dark be bright?
will cold be warm? will the day have no night?
In the Afterlife? will the blind have sight?
In the Afterlife

Behind closed eyes. some comfort lies.
In knowing the truth never spoken.
Through this world with us hidden conclusion.
we'll keep moving like mice through a maze.

In the Afterlife. will dark be bright?
will cold be warm? will the day have no night?
In the Afterlife? will the blind have sight?
In the Afterlife

In the Afterlife. will dark be bright?
will cold be warm? will the day have no night?
In the Afterlife? will the blind have sight?
In the Afterlife

THE ONES WHO HELP TO SET THE SUN 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

Watching my window I was led like a child.
As the roadway lamplights misguided my mind through the night.
a shadow of limits We were racing the rain.
my hands held the wheel. My eyes tried to hold their place.

there must have been a time. when I thought that you were watching.
It had to be when my senses lost control.
I thought I'd slipped away. I thought I could still feel us moving.
It must have been a cloud. no bigger than a man's hand.

Every reason I risk my life. To come back to you.
Is locked behind your door. You're my immunity
Outside I watched you burn. Heavy hearts were bleeding
A cry for help, a familiar voice. My melting hands streaked the glass.

As I walked away. I wondered what had really happened.
had I run out of time. did I push myself too far.
As my last step fell. I felt my hands upon the wheel.
had I come back to life. or did I ever leave at all.

In higher lives. we seem to be. always a moment too late.
We're past the time. when we looked on.
Now we're the ones who help to set the sun.

This time for real. I locked the door behind me.
My mind was still a wreck. from what I saw.
For when my hands are still. I'll recognize the message
never again will my senses lose control

In higher lives. We seem to be. always a moment too late
We're past the time. When we looked on
Now we're the ones who help to set the sun.

ONLY A METTER OF TIME 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Moore ]

 A suited man smiled said : "It's just a matter of time.
You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow just sign on this line."
Hold tight... limelight! Approaching the paramount. with the sun in our eyes.
fearing family ties, legalies, compromise

In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage.
a dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent.
haunts the eavesdropping silence that presses his window.
as he sweats a performance. to an audience that ticks on the wall.

To the practical observer. It's just a matter of time.
"You can deviate from the common place.
only to fall back in line."
I understand mine's a risky plan and your system can't miss
But is security after all a cause or symptom of happiness?

Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon in a steady-set gaze
a mariner soon from an open cocoon.
takes a moment to summon his courage
to stifle his grave apprehension and
trembling, approaches the surf.
A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs.
to brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs.

lingers in his memory and visions still surviving in a logic-
proof shell that should have been held sacred, safe
and hidden well are compromised in usury
with every rising sun that yields no sight of land
the hesitation cultivates within the tired man
and rumors spread of mutiny
and though the time will come when.
dream and day unite.
tonight the only consolation causing him to fight
in fearless faith in destiny.

Even when plans fall to pieces
I can still find the courage
with promise I've found in my faith

Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep
and at odds with our senses we'll climb
But if faith is the answer, we're already reached it
And if spirit's a sign. then it's only a matter of time
