Endless Sacrifice

album: "Train of Thought" (2003)
[Lyrics by John Petrucci]




* back                                                      * next

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 gonna lose my mind...Someone tell me why
I chose this life....This superficial lie
Constant compromise...Endless sacrifice

Pain....It saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel...Your light
Shines on my soul....While a thousand candles
Burn

Outside this barren room.....The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside.....Is growing deeper still

You're so far away....And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane....To make you whole

Try to stay alive....Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind....Someone tell me why
I chose this life.....This superficial lie
Constant compromise....Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted....Isolated
Time escaping.....Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted....Isolated
Time escaping....Endless sacrifice

Over the distance....We try to make sense
Of surviving together....While living apart

Striving for balance....We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected.....In spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken....And all that you've done
So that I could live out....This undying dream

Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
