Through Her Eyes
Nicholas: (Present) She never really had a chance On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance Now that I've become aware And I've exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes Just beyond the churchyard gates Where the grass is overgrown I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate In loving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes And as her image Wandered through my head I wept just like a baby As I lay awake in bed And I know what it's like To lose someone you love And this felt just the same She wasn't given any choice Desperation stole her voice I've been given so much more in life I've got a son, I've got a wife I had to suffer one last time To grieve for her and say goodbye Relive the anguish of my past To find out who I was at last The door has opened wide I'm turning with the tide Looking through her eyes

Shine-lake of fire Lines take me higher My mind drips desire Confined and overtired Living this charade Is getting me nowhere I can't shake this charade The city's cold blood calls me home Home it's what I long for Back home where I belong The city, it calls to me (Love, deceit, death) Decadent scenes from my memory Sorrow, eternity (Love, deceit, death) My demons are coming to drown me Help, I'm falling, I'm crawling I can't keep away from its clutch Can't have it, this habit It's calling me back to my home I remember the first time she came to me Poured her soul out all night and cried I remember I was told there's a new love that's born For each one that has died I never thought that I Could carry on with this life But I can't resist myself No matter how hard I try Living their other life Is getting them nowhere I'll make her my wife Her sweet temptations calls me home Home, it's what I long for My home where she belongs Her ecstasy means so much to me (Love, deceit, death) Even deceiving my own blood Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taking me to my home Help, he's my brother, but I love her I can't keep away from her touch Deception, dishonor It's calling me back to my home Her story, it holds the key (Love, deceit, death) Unlocking dreams from my memory Solving this mystery (Love, deceit, death) Is everything that is a part of me Help, regression, obsession I can't keep away from her touch Leave no doubt, to find out It's calling me back to my home

[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci] "For the first time in a long time ...everything was right in my world... and then I woke up." I can remember when, In the unity of our five-day sessions Not even once did we hear the siren song What kind of imagination Asleep in some lyrical coma Who's vain futile memory Could have been so wrong? You can make a fortune in lies You can keep a giant alive You can ride the red Until everybody smiles A trifling euphoria was such an untimely religion maybe your life can explain the reason for my indecision Here is a poor man the heart of this monster creation He said we both will be heroes and I was led into temptation You can make a fortune in lies You can keep a giant alive You can ride the red Until everybody smiles Can you show me your gold and your silver? A hero in frozen water Now you've made a fortune in lies and you kept a giant alive You rode the red You rode the red
