There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me
Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking
Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all the may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Summon up your ghosts for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken
Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further
Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way,
I will take you there
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Oh, where everything is wrong
Oh, where hopelessness surrounds you
Oh, the sun will rise again
The tide you swim against
Will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

The Spirit Carries On收錄於Scenes from a Memory
Scene Eight:
The Spirit Carries On
Nicholas:
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
Victoria:
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"
Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Solitary Shell收錄於Six Degrees of Inner Turbulencd (Disc 2)
VI. Solitary shell
He seemed no different from the rest
Just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best
And he was daddy's pride and joy
He learned to walk and talk on time
But never cared much to be held
And steadily he would decline
Into his solitary shell
As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in and out of his own world
But in every other way he was fine
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
A temporary catatonic
Madman on occasion
When will he break out
Of his solitary shell
He struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time
As a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fine
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
A momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell

Under A Glass Moon收錄於Image and Words
6. "Under A Glass Moon" (07:02)
- John Petrucci
Tell me
Remind me
Chase the water racing from the sky
Always beside me
Taste the memories running from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my dreams
Liquid shadows silence their screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes
[Chorus:]
Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear
Beneath a summer sky
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb's arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her survival
By your hand
I've awakened
Bear this honor in my name
回應warrust:夢劇場是一個前衛金屬的樂團,第一首i walk beside you 是2005的專輯,這首歌可以算是他們嘗試以不同的感覺去編曲的,據他們說是為了致敬U2而創作的,所以在這首歌裡面你會感覺有點U2的味道但又有DT本身的元素在裡面.前衛的音樂就是會使用許多實驗性樂風,在編曲上採華麗複雜創作,且具有前進思想,通常整張專輯都是在探討一件事或是敘述一個故事.DT已經經歷了20年的歲月,早就成為90年代前衛金屬的指標,直到現在仍高居不下.所以DT的樂風是非常廣的,但主要還是以前為金屬為主,如果你想聽更過癮的高水準演奏曲,你可以去找他們以前另外和其他樂手臨時組成的Liquid Tension Expirement(LTE),出過兩張專輯.如果你要說MV的話,他們只有前期的作品有拍過而已,到後期就沒有了(從鍵盤手換成JR就沒了),他們不像一般的樂團,所以基本上沒多少MV.希望以後你能從他們在延伸出去,比方說steve vai 光頭喬等等,你會發現一個真正有音樂水準的世界.除了上面兩個連結外在補上另一個 MP的DVD https://www.gamez.com.tw/thread-398750-1-1.html 送啦!!!
