The Killing Hand
[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci]
[I. The Observance]
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…
[II. Ancient Renewal]
Lowered deep into the sea
Being [...]

Status Seeker
[music by Dream Theater]
[lyrics by Dominici and 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 [...]

These Walls
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing’s getting through
Watch me,
Fading
I’m losing
All my instincts,
falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I’m holding back
It’s not [...]

The Answer Lies Within
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]
Look around,
Where do you belong
Don’t be afraid,
You are not the only one
Don’t let the day go by,
Don’t let it end
Don’t let a day go by in doubt,
The answer lies within
Life is short, so learn from your mistakes
And stand behind, the choices that you made
Face each day with [...]

A Fortune In Lies
[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci]
“For the first time in a long time
…everything was right in my
world… and then I woke up.”
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 [...]

In The Name Of God
[Lyrics by John Petrucci]
How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?
Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gun
Learn to believe
In the mighty and the strong
Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won’t be long
Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
Straight [...]

The Root Of All Evil
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: Mike Portnoy]
[VI. Ready]
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief
Never could have just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down [...]

Vacant
[Lyrics by James LaBrie]
Hey you, Hey you
I’m right here
Conscience fading
Can’t get through
Oh Lord
Helpless
Confused
Head swayed
Eyes glazed
And mine teared
She’s losing control
What can I do
Her vacant eyes
Black holes
Am I losing you

Honor Thy Father
[Lyrics by Mike Portnoy]
We’re taught unconditional love
That blood is thicker than water
That a parent’s world would revolve
Always around their son or their daughter
You pretend I was your own
And even believed that you loved me
But were always threatened by some
Invisible blood line that only you could see
You took advantage of an outreached hand
And twisted [...]

Endless Sacrifice
[Lyrics by John Petrucci]
Cold
Lying in my bed
Staring into darkness
Lost
I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return
Again
Like a child who’s run away
And won’t be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day
I’m so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make we whole
Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I’m [...]
