REGRESSION 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Moore ]

 

Close your eyes and begin to relax.
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
Concentrate on your breathing.
With each breath you become more relaxed.
Imagine a brilliant white light above you.
Focusing on this light as it flows through your body.
Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper
Into a more relaxed state of mind.
Now as I count backward from ten to one.
You will fill more peaceful, and calm.
Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
You will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you.
Five. Four. Three. Two.
If at any time you need to come back, all you must do is open your eyes. One."


Safe in the light that surrounds me. Free of the fear and the pain.
My subconscious mind. Starts spinning through time.
To rejoin the past once again.



Nothing seems real. I`m starting to feel.
Lost in the haze of a dream.

And as I draw near. The scene becomes clear.
Like watching my life on a screen.

Hello Victoria so glad to see you
My friend.

STRANGE DE JAVU 

[ Music & Lyric by Dream Theater ]

Subconscious strange sensation. Unconscious relaxation.
What a pleasant nightmare. And I can`t wait to get there again.

Every time I close my eyes. There`s another vivid surprise.
Another whole life waiting. Chapters unfinished, fading.

Closer now - Slowly coming into view.
I`ve arrived - Blinding sunshine beaming through.

There`s a house I`m drawn into. Familiar settings, nothing new.
There`s a pathway leading there. With a haunting chill in the air

There`s room at the top of the stairs. Every night I`m drawn up there.
There`s a girl in the mirror. Her face is getting clearer.
Young child won`t you tell me why I`m here?

In her eyes - I sense a story never told.
Behind the disguise - There`s something tearing at her soul


Tonight I`ve been searching for it. A feeling that`s deep inside me.
Tonight I`ve been searching for. The one that nobody knows.
Trying to break free

I just can`t help myself. I`m feeling like I`m going out of my head.
Tears my heart into two.
I`m not the one the sleeper thought he knew

Back on my feet again.Eyes open to real world.Metropolis surrounds me. The mirror`s shattered the girl.

Why is this other life. Haunting me everyday.
I`d break through the other side. If only I`d find the way.

Something`s awfully familiar. The feeling`s so hard to shake.
Could I have lived in that other world. It`s a link that I`m destined to make.

I`m still searching but I don`t know what for.
The missing key to unlock my mind`s door.

Today I am searching for it. A feeling that won`t go away.
Today I am searching for it. The one that I only know.
Trying to break free.

I just can`t help myself. I`m feeling like I`m going out of my head.
Tears my soul into two. I`m not the one I thought I always knew.

I just can`t help myself. I`m feeling like I`m going out of my head
Uncanny, strange Deja Vu. But I don`t mind - I hope to find the truth

THROUGH MY WORDS 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

All your eyes have ever seen.
All you`ve ever heard.
Is etched upon my memory.
I spoken through my words.

All that I take with me.
Is all you`ve left behind.
We`re sharing one eternity.
Living in two minds.
Linked by an endless thread.
Impossible to break.

FATAL TRAGEDY 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

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 talked 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.

"Now it`s time to see how you died.
Remember that death is not the end but only a transition."

BEYOND THIS LIFE 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

Headlines. Murder, young girl killed. Desperate shooting at Echoe`s hill
Dreadful ending, killer died. Evidently suicide.

A witness heard a horrifying sound.
He ran to find a woman dead and lying on the ground.

Standing by her was a man. Nervous, shaking, gun in hand.
Witness says he tried to help. But he`d turned the weapon on himself

His body fell across that poor young girl.
After shouting out in vain.
The witness ran to call for assistance.
A sad close to a broken love affair.

Our deeds have traveled far. What we have been is what we are
Our deeds have traveled far. What we have been is what we are.

She wanted love forever. But he had another plan.
He fell into an evil way. She had to let him down.
She said "I can`t love a wayward man".

She may have found a reason to forgive. oh yeah.
If he had only tried to change.
Was their fatal meeting prearranged?

Had a violent struggle taken place?
There was every sign that lead there.
Witness found a switchblade on the ground.
Was the victim unaware?
They continued to investigate.
They found a note in the killer`s pocket.
It could have been a suicide letter.
Maybe he had lost her love.

I feel there`s only one thing left to do.
I'd sooner take my life away than live with losing you.

Our deeds have traveled far. What we have been is what we are.

Our deeds have traveled far. What we have been is what we are.

All that we learn this time. (What we have been is what we are)
Is carried beyond this life.
All that we learn this time. (What we have been is what we are)
Is carried beyond this life.

THROUGH HER EYES 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Moore ]

She never really had a chance. On that fateful moonlight night.
Sacrificed without a fight. A victim of her circumstances.

Now that I`ve become aware. And I`ve exposed this tragedy.
A sadness grows inside of me. It all seems so unfair.

I`m learning all about my life. By looking through her eyes.

Just beyond the churchyard gates. Where the grass is overgrown.
I saw the writing on her stone. I felt like I would suffocate.

In loving memory of our child. So innocent, eyes open wide.
I felt so empty as I cried. Like part of me had died.
I`m learning all about my life. By looking through her eyes.

And as her image.Wandered through my head.

I wept just like a baby As I lay awake in bed.

And I know what it`s like. To lose someone you love.
And this felt just the same.

She wasn`t given any choice. Desperation stole her voice.
I`ve been given so much more in life.
I`ve got a son, I`ve got a wife.

I had to suffer one last time. To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relieve the anguish of my past. To find out who I was at last.

The door has opened wide. I`m turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes.

HOME 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

Shine-lake of fire. Lines take me higher.
My mind 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.

The city - it calls to me. Decadent scenes from my memory.
Sorrow - eternity. My demons 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.


I remember the first time she came to me.
Poured her soul out all night and cried.

I remember I was told there`s a new love that`s born.
For each one that has died.

I never thought that I. Could carry on with this life.
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 temptations 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.
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles.
She`s taking me to my home.

Help - he`s my brother, but I love her.
I can`t keep away from her touch.
Deception, dishonor.
It`s calling me back to my home.


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

Help - regression, obsession.
I can`t keep away from her touch.
Leave no doubt, to find out.
It`s calling me back to my home.

ONE LAST TIME 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Myung ]

It doesn`t make any sense.This tragic ending.In spite of the evidence. There`s something still missing.

Heard some of the rumours told. A taste of one`s wealth.
Did Victoria wound his soul?. Did she bid him farewell?


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 slowly fade away


Here I am inside his home. It holds the many clues to my suspicions.
And as I`m standing here right now.
I`m finally shown what I have always known.

Coincidence I can`t believe. As my childhood dreams slowly come true.

Are these her memories. Awakened through my eyes.
This house has brought back to life.

An open door. I walk on through. Into his bedroom

Feeling as cold as outside. The walls disappear.
To some woman who`s screaming
A man pleads forgiveness. His words I cannot hear.

THE SPIRIT CARRIES ON 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

Where did we come from?.
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say " Life is too short"
"The here and the now"
And " You`re only given one shot"
But could there be more.
Have I lived before.
Or could this be all that we`ve got?

If I die tomorrow. I`d be alright. Because I believe.
That after we`re gone. The spirit carries on.

I used to be frightened of dying.
I used to think death was the end.
But that was before.
I`m not scared anymore.
I know that my soul will transcend.

I may never find all the answers.
I may never understand why.
I may never prove.
What I know to be true.
But I know that I still have to try.

If I die tomorrow. I`d be alright. Because I believe
That after we`re gone. The spirit carries on.


"Move on, be brave.
Don`t weep at my grave.
Because I`m no longer here.
But please never let.
Your memories of me disappear".

[N:]
Safe in the light that surrounds me. Free of the fear and the pain.
My questioning mind. Has help me to find.
The meaning in my life again.
Victoria`s real. I finally feel.
At peace with the girl in my dreams.
And now that I`m here. It`s perfectly clear.
I found out what all of this means.

If I die tomorrow. I`d be alright. Because I believe.
That after we`re gone. The spirit carries on.

FINALLY FREE 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

[Hypnotist:]
You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light.
Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime.
As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness
Rremembering all you have learned.
When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present,
Feeling peaceful and refresh.
Open your eyes Nicholas.


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. Torn in two. I`d take my own life before losing you.


Feeling good this Friday afternoon.
I ran into Julian. Said we'd get together soon.
He`s always had my heart. He needs to know
I`ll break free of the Miracle
It`s time for him to go.

This feeling. Inside me. Finally found my love
I`ve finally broke free
No longer. Torn 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.
"Open your eyes, Victoria"


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 a new.
Familiar voice comes shining through.


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`ve finally broke free.
No longer. Torn in two. Living my own life by learning from you.
We`ll meet again my friend.
Someday soon.
