| ok, now which songs should I post when I don't have a favorite???
"Metropolis - Part I 'The Miracle and the Sleeper'"
The smile of dawn
Arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be confined to this mind
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could live without pain without sorrow
But as a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without end
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
The third arrives...
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be a third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home
It can only take place
When the struggle between our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know that the third is love
Love is the Dance of Eternity
oh, and BTW, this was on their site from Mike Portnoy: Dream Theater will enter Bear Tracks studios in New York at the beginning of next month (March 2001) to begin work on the follow up to "Scenes From A Memory". The new album will once again be self-produced and the band will once again be using engineer Doug Oberkircher who has worked with the band on "Scenes...", "Images and Words" and "A Change Of Seasons".
The band is planning on writing in the studio as they did for their last CD as well as the 2 "Liquid Tension Experiment" CD's. Studio time is booked through the summer and there is no release date yet scheduled.
Let's see if I'm hearing this right
Is it just I should take
And never endings are glad
To carry out the dead
Your idols burn in the fire
The mob comes crawling out (take us down and out)
I'm reclaiming their minds
Destroying everyone
There's no one here
And people everywhere, you're all alone

| Metropolis, pt. 1 That's how the boys opened their Images and Words tour in 1992. They just keep getting better and better.
Way to go Spitfire, once again you pick the best songs!
To Live Forever
If I'd started from the top
And worked my way down
There'd be no reason
To live forever
To live forever
The starvation has turned
Me outside in
And the wind has blown
Me halfway across the world
Across the world
Why was I born
In an age of distrust
I'd offered some change
For a photograph
It will always stay the same
You will always be the same
Until I saw the desire for revenge
My heart never once went astray
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there is no reason
To live forever
I found you where
They left you there
A passing word that's gone forever
And searching my memory for answers
I saw the words of a letter you wrote
She said 'You don't have to live forever,
You don't want to live forever.'
And everything's changing now,
I don't want to live forever.
It will always stay the same
Always be the same
Until I saw the desire for revenge
My heart never once went astray
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there is no reason
To live forever
Until I saw the desire for revenge
As long as I have to die in the attempt
If I had to charge the attack
Let me
No reason
No reason
No reason
No reason
To Live Forever

[Present]
[The Hypnotherapist:]
"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
remembering all you have learned. When I tell you to open your eyes
you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and refreshed.
Open your eyes, Nicholas."
[Past]
[The Miracle:]
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"
[Victoria:]
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
[The Miracle:]
"Open your eyes, Victoria." [Towards the end of the shrieks ]
[and gun fire during the fight. ]
[The Sleeper:]
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
A familiar voice comes shining through...
[Present]
[Nicholas:]
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'm finally free
No longer torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you
We'll meet again my friend someday soon...
"...news in London, France, Russia [Samples from TV news broadcasts.]
and Italy have deleted their lead
story, all anticipating the outcome
of the man considered to be a member of American nobility."
"And as you can imagine, as the skies have grown darker
here over Washington, the mood has grown darker as well
and people here are beginning to resign themselves
to the possibility that they are witnessing yet another
tragedy in a long string of misfortunes."
"Reaction from everywhere, from Washington and
certainly from around the world has cast..."
