Schmedley Wilcox - Dream Theater

Under the sun, there is nothing to hide

Under the moon, a stranger waits 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 New York City

It’s raining, raining, 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

Take a look at yourself

Not at anyone else

And tell me what you see

I know the air is cold

I know the streets are cruel

But I’ll enjoy the ride today

It’s raining, raining,

On the streets of New York City

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

As I walk through all my myths

Rising and sinking like the waves

With my thoughts wrapped around me

2. Finally Free

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

A familiar voice comes shining through…

4. In the Name of God

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

5.Octavarium

We move in circles

Balanced all the while

On a gleaming razor’s edge

A perfect sphere

Colliding with our fate
