[00:01.120]Dream Theater - A Nightmare To Remember
[00:05.890]
[01:20.300]A nightmare to remember
[01:23.710]I'll never be the same
[01:26.820]What began as laughter
[01:29.370]So soon will turn to pain
[01:31.900]
[01:32.480]The sky was clear and pretty
[01:35.330]The air was thick and still
[01:38.240]Now I'm not one to soon forget
[01:41.190]And I'll bet I never will
[01:43.800]
[01:58.590]Picture for a moment
[02:00.930]The perfect irony
[02:03.510]A flawless new beginning
[02:06.330]Eclipsed by tragedy
[02:08.810]
[02:09.280]The uninvited stranger
[02:12.000]Started dancing on his own
[02:14.950]So we said goodbye to the growing pride
[02:17.800]And we made our way back home
[02:20.680]
[02:21.050]Life was so simple then
[02:28.440]We were so innocent
[02:35.160]Father and mother
[02:42.680]Holding each other
[02:50.150]
[03:04.090]Without warning, out of nowhere
[03:07.520]Like a bullet, from the night
[03:10.910]Crashing glass, rubber and steel
[03:14.300]Scorching fire, glowing light
[03:17.830]
[03:18.150]Screams of terror, pain of fear
[03:21.200]Sounds of silence, smoke in my eyes
[03:24.650]Silent stillness, blackened silence
[03:28.370]No more screaming, no more cries
[03:31.630]
[03:31.860]Stunned and bewildered
[03:35.000]Cold and afraid
[03:38.590]Torn up and broken
[03:42.030]Frightened and dazed
[03:45.250]
[03:45.530]Stunned and bewildered
[03:49.160]Cold and afraid
[03:52.730]Torn up and broken
[03:56.150]Frightened and dazed
[03:59.540]
[04:49.520]Lying on the table, in some familiar place
[04:56.580]I'm greeted by a stranger, a man without a face
[05:03.480]He said "Son, do you remember, do you even know your name?"
[05:10.740]Then he shined a light into my eyes and said "Take this for the pain"
[05:18.690]
[05:39.450]Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[05:49.000]I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery
[06:00.200]In peaceful sedation I lay half awake
[06:04.990]And all of the panic inside starts to fade
[06:10.820]Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[06:19.580]
[06:32.850]"Tell me does this hurt you?" said the faceless man
[06:38.310]"Can you move all of your fingers, can you try your best to stand?"
[06:44.570]I asked about the others "Is everyone okay?"
[06:50.610]He told me not to worry, as he turned and looked away
[06:56.120]
[06:56.800]Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[07:05.780]I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery
[07:17.040]In peaceful sedation I lay half awake
[07:21.850]And all of the panic inside starts to fade
[07:27.340]Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
[07:35.810]
[10:22.710]Day after day, and night after night
[10:26.280]We play out the events, did they ever see the red light?
[10:29.940]Over and over, scene by scene
[10:33.840]Like a recurring nightmare, haunted by dreams
[10:37.900]How can you prepare, for what would happen next?
[10:41.510]No son should ever have to see his father in such a mess
[10:45.080]It's a miracle he lived, it's a blessing no one died
[10:48.950]By the grace of god above, everyone survived
[10:52.610]Hooouh!!
[11:26.560]
[12:21.020]Life was so simple then
[12:26.480]We were so innocent
[12:36.260]It will stay with us forever
[12:42.470]A nightmare to remember
[12:59.270]
