album: "Systematic Chaos" (2007)
[Music: Dream Theater / Lyrics: John Petrucci]




* back                                                       * next

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
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
