DREAM THEATER LYRICS

1. I. Paradoxe De La Lumière Noire

[Instrumental]

2. II. Live, Die, Kill

Consider this question
Look deep inside
Deliver a true confession
What are you willing to live for?
Consider this question
Open your eyes
Examine your own reflection
What are you willing to die for?
When your back’s against the wall
and your time’s uncertain
Consider this question
No standing by
When flesh and blood are threatened,
what are you willing to kill for?

We seek to understand
We cry with hand in hand

The bridges we build to connect
The distance that makes us forget
Hate dividing us, love reminding us
of our shared humanity
Hope can be a shadow fleeting
I would rather die believing
Capture it all in a final act of faith

We seek to understand
We cry with hand in hand

A story that needs to be told
An answer that begs to be found
The beauty we wish to behold
is never too far away

3. III. The Embracing Circle

[Instrumental]

4. IV. The Pursuit Of Truth

Mothers for their children
Husbands for their wives
Martyrs for the kingdom
Fighting for your life
A soldier for his country
A junkie for the high
Teachers for their students
Vengeance for a crime
Rebels for their freedom
A tyrant for the prize
Cowards for salvation
Money, love, and faith

Noble embrace
Lay down our lives for the cause
Death over shame
Grace before glory

5. V. Surrender, Trust & Passion

To really feel the joy in life, you must suffer through the pain
When you surrender to the light, you can face the darkest days
If you open up your eyes and you put your trust in love
On those cold and endless nights, you will never be alone
Passion glows within your heart like a furnace burning bright
Until you struggle through the dark, you’ll never know that you’re alive

Never know - know that you’re alive!
You’ll never know! [4x]
