scene nine finally free

Dream Theater

You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light
Allow the light to lead you away
from your past and into this lifetime
As the light dissipates you will slowly
fade back into consciousness
remembering all you have learned
When I tell you to open your eyes
you will return to the present
feeling peaceful and refreshed
Open your eyes, Nicholas.

Friday evening, the blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful man

Sole survivor, no witness to the crime
I must act fast to cover up
I think that there s still time

He d seem hopeless and lost with this note
They ll buy into the words that I wrote

This feeling inside me!
Finally found my love, I ve finally broke free
No longer torn in two
I d take my own life before losing you!

Feeling good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian, said we d get together soon
He s always had my heart, he needs to know
I ll break free of the Miracle, it s time for him to go

This feeling inside me!
Finally found my love, I ve finally broke free
No longer torn in two!
He d kill his brother if he only knew

Their love renewed
They d rendezvous in a pathway out of view
They thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night

Open your eyes, Victoria!

One last time, we ll lay down today
One last time, until we fade away
One last time, we ll lay down today
One last time, we fade away

As their bodies lie still
And the ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear

A blinding light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for a new
Familiar voice comes shining through

This feeling inside me!
Finally found my life, I m finally free
No longer torn in two!
I learned about my life by living through you

This feeling inside me!
Finally found my life, I m finally free
No longer torn in two!
Living my own life by learning from you

We ll meet again, my friend!
Someday soon

News in London, France, Russia
and Italy have deleted their lead story
all anticipating the outcome of the man considered
to be a member of American nobility
And as you can imagine
as the skies have grown darker here
over Washington, the mood has grown
darker as well and people here are beginning
to resign themselves to the possibility
that they are witnessing yet another tragedy
in a long string of misfortunes
Reaction from everywhere, from Washington
and certainly from around the world has guess--

Open your eyes, Nicholas!

AAH!
