01. In The Presence Of Enemies (Part 1)
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci
|
I: Prelude (Instrumental)
II: Resurrection
I saw a white light
Shining there before me
And Walking to it
I waited for the end
A final vision
Promising salvation
A resurrection
For a fallen man
Do you still wait for your God?
And the symbol of your faith
I can free you from this Hell and misery
You should never be ashamed my son
I can give you power beyond anything
Trust me you will be the chosen one
I was forgotten
A body scorned and broken
My soul rejected
Tainted by his blood
Beyond redemption
A sinner not worth saving
Forever taken
From the one I loved
Do I still wait for my God?
And the symbol of my faith
I can lead you down the path and back to life
All I ask is that you worship me
I can help you seek revenge and save yourself
Give you life for all eternity
Servants of the fallen
Fight to pave the way
For their savior's calling
Of this wicked day
Through a veil of madness
With a vicious play
One man rises on
Standing in their way
Redemption
Redemption for humanity
To be continued…

02. Forsaken
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci
|
For a while I thought I fell asleep
Lying motionless inside a dream
Then rising suddenly
I felt a chilling breath upon me
She softly whispered in my ear
Forsaken
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
I waited faithfully
For night to fall again
Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of the night and mist
I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson sting on her lips
I have to know your name
Where have I seen your face before
My dear why don't you be afraid
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
Take me far away
Close your eyes
And hold your breath
Till the ends of the earth
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Forsaken
Fly away with me tonight
Awaken
Renew my life
Now you are mine
Give yourself up to me

03. Constant Motion
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by Mike Portnoy
|
Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul
Lost illusions of my control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night
I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I've found
I can never get enough
Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control
Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
Falling down through the night
Sprawling everywhere
Searching left, searching right
Panic setting in, I can no longer fight
When will this end?
Accelerate, dislocate
(Set to crash and burn, haven't got time to waste)
Not planning to return
Aggravate, agitate
When will I ever learn?
There's no way out of here
Nowhere to turn
Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts of neat disorder
Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again
Uh!
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Can't stop the wheels from turning
Traveling through both space and time
You get yours, and I got mine
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering

04. The Dark Eternal Night
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci
|
No one dared to
Speek of the terrible danger
The hiddeous ancient warnings
Forged into the void of night
He is risen up
Out of the blackness
Chaos
The last of the prophets
Sinister
A Sickening montrous sight
Throught the stifling heat
Underneath the pale green moon
I burned with a thirst
To seek things not yeat seen
Climbing endless stairs
Leading to the choking room
Eager to explode
His most shocking mysteries
Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night
Black forces
Rage in the vortex
Fighting
Waves of destruction
Swallowing
The echo of the universe
I am the last
Born of the blood of the pharaohs
The ultimate god of a rotting creation
Sent to unleash this curse
Restless crowds draw near
Nameless hooded forms appear
Amidst fallen ruins
Grotesque creatures battle
Shadowed on a screen
Yellow evil faces leer
Vacant monuments
Corpses of dead worlds left behind
Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night
Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing
Into the dark eternal night
Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night
Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing
Into the dark eternal night

05. Repentance
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by Mike Portnoy
|
Hello, mirror
So glad to see you my friend
It's been a while
Staring at the empty page before me
All the years of wreckage running through my head
Patterns of my life I thought I don't ...
Revealing hurt for shame and deep lament
Overwhelming sorrow now absorbs me
As the pen begins to trace my darkest past
Signs throughout my life that should have warned me
Of all the wrongs I've done for which I must repent
I once thought it better to regret
Things that I have done and haven't
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
Learn the hard way
Sometimes you've got to be strong
When you think it's too late
Staring at the finished page before me
All the damage now so clear and evident
Thinking 'bout the dreaded task in store for me
A bitter fear at the thought of my amends
Hoping that the step will help restore me
To face my past and ask for forgiveness
Cleaning up my dirty side of this unswept street
Could this be the begin of the end
I once thought it better to regret
Things that I have done and haven't
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
Learn the hard way
Just when you're through hanging on
You're saved

06. Prophets Of War
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by James LaBrie
|
It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accepted as the truth
Debate this fight it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
And with them tyrant rule
Is it time to make the change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make the change
Intrigued
Got your attention - Deceived
Since the inception - Our brave
Fight for what reason
Compelled
Can we clean up this mess
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change
The only thing that I believe
Will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we can make it right
Right for they have wronged
See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake
Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away
Is our patience wearing thin
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change

07. The Ministry Of Lost Souls
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci
|
The water's edge
Is where she waits
Lost soul still wondering
Meant to die
But she's stuck
Not crossing over
The other side
Is where he waits
His spirit reaching out
Meant to save
But she's too scared
To take his hand
Living in a world without you drowning in the past)
Is living in no world at all
So now I call on you
Remember me
I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering
Was all in vain?
It's almost over now
Don't turn your back on paradise
Feeling scared
She's prepared
To give up everything
She can't stand
To feel like half of her is fading
He will choose
The only way
To rid her of her pain
Take her soul now
The decision has been made
Living in a world without love (burning into my soul
So living in a wordless world
So I will call on you
Remember me
I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering
was all in vain?
It's almost over
Remember me
You were so young
How could I tell you?
Remember me
I am the one
Who saved your life that night
I was the one who would not abandon you
Even in death I was the one who would not leave you
I used my freedom to protect you
And all the world around you
Do you remember me this time
Even in death I gave you life
I gave you life
Born to do
Deserve a place
A place beside you
This time when I
Reach out my hand
It reached all the way
To heaven
Remember me
I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering
Was all in vain?
It's almost over now
Goodbye
It's almost over now
Goodbye
It's time
I release you from this life
Don't turn your back on paradise

08. In The Presence Of Enemies (Part 2)
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci
|
III: Heretic
Welcome tired pilgrim
Into the circle
We have been waiting
Everyone's gathered
For your arrival
All the believers
Angels fall
All for you
Heretic
Demon heart
Bleed for us
I've been waiting for you,
Weary preacher man
You have been expected
Now we can begin
Let this hallowed day of judgment reign
I have known you father,
And your sacred quest
Blessed soldier fighting
You shall never rest
I have known you but do you know me?
Angels fall
All for you
Heretic
Demon heart
Bleed for us
My soul is yours
Dark Master
I will fight for you
Dark Master within
I will fight for you
Dark Master of sin
Now my soul is yours
Dark Master my guide
I will die for you
Dark Master inside
I cannot see his face
But I could feel his spite
A presence from the dead
Abandoned by the light
This shadow will consume him from within
This power that I sense
The rage behind those eyes
Is just a shrouded ghost
A spirit sealed inside
The body and the soul both threats
For they are one
Angels fall
All for you
Heretic
Demon heart
Bleed for us
My soul is yours
Dark Master
I will fight for you
Dark Master within
I will fight for you
Dark Master of sin
Now my soul is yours
Dark Master my guide
I will die for you
Dark Master incide
Dark Master amen
I belong to you
Dark Master within
Heil! Heil! Heil! Heil!
Heil! Heil! Heil! Heil!
IV: The Slaughter Of The Damned
Don't
Bother trying to find them
They will be coming to you
Fight
Fight and destroy
Until you can't take anymore
Slay
Spill the blood of the rebels
They are the children of hell
Flesh
Of the undead
Stopping at nothing to kill
Sin
Caught in a moment of weakness
Commited the greatness of all
Sold
Half of my soul
And now It's too late for you
I judge us
My eyes see
I judge and I am just
For I speak
Of the beast
That lives in all of us
Unwelcome ones
Your time has come
Lord
You are my god and my shepherd
Nothing more shall I want
War
Through the abyss
Into the shadow of death
Fear
There is no evil to fear now
For I know you are with me
My
Couple overflows
With my enemies blood
I
Decay in the house of the lord
Forever amen
Death
Follow me
Will follow me
All the days of my life
I judge us
My eyes see
I judge and I am just
For I speak
Of the beast
That lives in all of us
Unwelcome ones
Your time has come
Servants of the fallen
Fight to pave the way
For the savior's calling
On this wicked day
Through a veil of madness
With a vicious play
One man rises up
Standing in their way
It's time for your reckoning
V: The Reckoning (Instrumental)
VI: Salvation
My soul grows weaker
He knows and he waits
He watches over me
Standing at the infernal gates
In the hour of darkness
The moment I feared has passed
The moment I lost my faith
Promising salvation
My soul is my own now
I do not fight for you
Dark Master
