THE MINISTRY OF LOST SOULS - DREAM THEATER

THE WATER'S EDGE
IS WHERE SHE WAITS
LOST SOUL STILL WANDERING
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
A BURDEN TO MY SOUL
IS LIVING IN A WORTHLESS 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 NOW
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 WHILE DIRECT YOU
DO YOU REMEMBER ME THIS TIME?
EVEN IN DEATH I GAVE YOU LIFE
I GAVE YOU LIFE

I WANTED TO DESERVE A PLACE
A PLACE BESIDE YOU
THIS TIME WHEN I REACHED 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

METROPOLIS PART 1 - DREAM THEATER

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
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 THOUSANDS WORDS
ELUDING STARES FROM FACES BEFORE ME
IT HIDES AWAY AND WILL NEVER BE HEARD AGAIN
DECEIT IS THE SECOND WITHOUT END

THE CITY'S COLD BLOOD TEACHES US TO SURVIVE
JUST KEEP ME 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 THE 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 A 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
