WOW! WOW! WOW!

Dream Theater- Take the Time
The unbroken spirit
Obscured and disquiet
Finds clearness this trial
demands
And at the end of this day sighs
an anxious relief
For the fortune lies still in his
hands
If there's pensive fear, a
wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real,
Suppression that he feels must
turn to hope
Life is no more assuring than
love
(It's time to take the time)
There are no answers from
voices above
(It's time to take the time)
You're fighting the weight of
the world
And no one can save you this
time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in
your mind
I close my eyes
And feel the water rise around
me
Drown the bear of time
Let my senses fall away
I can see much clearer now,
I'm blind
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time
and Pyro, the whole thing in SFAM is taken from the song "Metropolis Part I: The Miracle and the Sleeper" which is on I&W. All the songs on SFAM reference this song.
The smile of dawn
Arrived in early May
She carried a gift from her
home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be
confined to this mind
I was told there's miracle for
each day that I try
I was told there's a new love
that's born for each one that
has died
I was told there'd be no one to
call on when I feel alone and
afraid
I was told if you dream of the
next world
You'll find yourself swimming
in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could
live without pain without
sorrow
As a man I've found it's all
caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid
Somewhere like a
scene from a
memoryThere's a picture worth a
thousand words
Eluding stares from faces
before me
It hides away and will never be
heard of again
Deceit is the second without end
The city's cold blood teaches us
to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes
and we'll stay alive
The third arrives...
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and
last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and
thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home
It can only take place
When the struggle between
our children has ended
Now the
Miracle and the
Sleeper know that the third
is love
Love is the
Dance of Eternity
