Dream Theater - Act II: Scene Nine: Finally Free lyrics

"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"

(Past) feeling good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian
Said we'd get together soon

He 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"

(Past) 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
Spirit's 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
A familiar voice comes shining through

(Present) 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

" 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"

"AAAH!"
