Dream Theater - Schmedley Wilcox lyrics
[Dream Theater - Schmedley Wilcox lyrics]
Under the sun, there is nothing to hide
Under the moon, the stranger wait's inside
People disappear, the music fades away
Splashing through the rain
I'll dream with them one day
It's raining
Raining on the streets of Vancouver
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
Raining deep in heaven
I may have wasted all those years
They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears
And as I walk through all my myths
Rising and sinking like the waves
With my thoughts wrapped around me
Through a trial of tears
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
Familiar voice comes shining through
Hundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult all would perish
In the name of god
Self-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants to their death
Eighty murdered in the name of god
Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives perversions
In the name of god
Underground religion
Turning toward the mainstream light
Blind devotion in the name of god
Justifying violence
Citing from the holy book teaching hatred
In the name of god
We move in circles balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began!
Under the moon, the stranger wait's inside
People disappear, the music fades away
Splashing through the rain
I'll dream with them one day
It's raining
Raining on the streets of Vancouver
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
Raining deep in heaven
I may have wasted all those years
They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears
And as I walk through all my myths
Rising and sinking like the waves
With my thoughts wrapped around me
Through a trial of tears
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
Familiar voice comes shining through
Hundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult all would perish
In the name of god
Self-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants to their death
Eighty murdered in the name of god
Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives perversions
In the name of god
Underground religion
Turning toward the mainstream light
Blind devotion in the name of god
Justifying violence
Citing from the holy book teaching hatred
In the name of god
We move in circles balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began!
