Dream Theater Tribute EP

Pull Me Under

Lost in the sky clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me this world is spinning without me
Every day send future to past every breath leaves me one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one and then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me the whole world keeps spinning around me
All life is future to past every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite all I can do is set it right

Dust fills my eyes clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry orders fly and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me the whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun only until your will is done

Caught In A Web

Silence disguised I watch you show me the hurt that haunts you
Would you despise the thrill if all you hide were mine?
I can't hold on any longer these feelings keep growing stronger
Echoes that deafen the mind will bury my voice in their wake

Caught in a Web removed from the world
Hanging on by a thread spinning the lies devised in my head
Caught in a Web refused by the world hanging on by a thread
Spinning a cage denied and misread

I've seen the path the one you take shows the truth for you to make
This turn of phrase we might not see is the thirst of desire found so easily
Try to push me 'round the world some more and make me live in fear
I bare all that I am made of now attractive I don't care
Because even when I danced with life no one was there to share
Does this voice the wounds of your soul?
Does this voice the wounds of your soul?

Tried to live the life you live and saw it doesn't work for me
I bare all that I am made of now attractive, I can't be
Inside the Dance of Life is one I'll never hold to me
You can't heal the wounds of my soul.
You can't heal the wounds of my soul.

Constant Motion

Tunnel vision at blinding speed controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty throughout my very soul
Lost illusions of mind 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 the wheels from turning 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
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 the wheels from turning can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more into the night blistering
Traveling through both space and time

The Dark Eternal Night

No one dared to speak of the terrible danger
The hideous ancient warnings forged in the void of night
He has risen up out of the blackness chaos
The last of the prophets sinister a sickening monstrous sight
Through the stifling heat underneath the pale green moon
I burned with a thirst to seek things not yet seen
Climbing endless stairs leading to the choking room
Eager to explore 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

 Innocence Faded

Animation breathes a cloudless mind
Fascination leaves the doubting blind
Until the circle breaks and wisdom lies ahead
The faithful live Awake the rest remain misled
Some will transcend spinning years one as if time disappears
Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you
Trinity jaded I break down walls to find you

Callow and vain fixed like a fossil, shrouding pain
Passionless stage distant like brothers wearing apathetic displays
Sharing flesh like envy in cages condescending not intending to end
Some will transcend spinning years one as if time disappears
Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you
Trinity jaded I break down walls to find you

Beginnings get complicated the farther we progress
Opinions are calculated immune to openness
Beyond the circle's edge we're driven by her blessings
Forever hesitating caught beneath the wheel
Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you
Cynically jaded the child will crawl to find you.

Take The Time

Just let me catch my breath I've heard the promises I've seen the mistakes
I've had my fair share of tough breaks I need a new voice, a new law, a new way
Take the time, reevaluate it's time to pick up the pieces,
Go back to square one I think it's time for a change
There is something that I feel to be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind and craft new changes with my eyes
Giving freely wandering promises a place with decisions I'll fashion I won't waste another breath
You can feel the waves coming on it's time to take the time
Let them destroy you or carry you on it's time to take the time
You're fighting the weight of the world but no one can save you this time
Close your eyes you can find all you need in your mind

The unbroken spirit obscured and disquiet finds clearness this trial demands
And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief for the fortune lies still in his hands
If there's pensive fear, a wasted year a man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real suppression that he feels must turn to hope
Life is no more assuring than love it's time to take the time
There are no answers from voices above it's time to take the time
You're fighting the weight of the world and no one can save you this time
Close your eyes you can find all you need in your mind

I close my eyes and feel the water rise around me
Drown the bead of time let my senses fall away
I can see much clearer now I'm blind
You can feel the waves coming on it's time to take the time
Let them destroy you or carry you on it's time to take the time
You're fighting the weight of the world but no one can save you this time
Close your eyes you can find all you need in your mind
Find all you need in your mind if you take the time
Find all you need in your mind if you take the time
