Dream Theater - The Killing Hand lyrics
[Dream Theater - The Killing Hand lyrics]
Descending scarlet cuts the sky
Faded names left on the wall
Honor the fighting, leave life to die
Remembered is the sacrifice but no
Praisal of blood still flowing
Who were the leaders?
What controlled the Killing Hand
That caused this mourning? Crossing over
Lowered deep into the sea
Being await's to cleanse his soul
Senses weakening time is still
Motionless by stiffening cold
The wheels race back and scorch his mind
Travelling all to find the land
Revelation warms a touch
And now he will begin to understand
Extended a view to yesterday
Manifestation for none the same
Walking amidst a frightening still
No sound, no smoke, no scorching flames
He is risen
Sipping his poison the raven sings
Yet another to add more bodies fallen
King from below, this one controls
The Killing Hand that caused this mourning
Is it all over? Is it all over?
Evil genius this secret plan
Mercy dealt with the losing hand
Will he ever fall? Can he end it all?
Our savior must make his stand
Only a Prophet of years to come
Wanting mortality I'm all alone
He heard my voice, it was my choice
I've stopped the Killing Hand
When I go back again will it be the same?
I've stopped the cries but now
They know my name
The sea is calling me my spirit must return
As I get closer
Was it really worth what I have learned?
I'm in the valley and the
Saddened chimes I hear
Race towards the wall to find:
One more name appear
No one is left now, my one and only land
I laugh at what I've done
I am the Killing Hand
