In just a moment your life can slip away |
|
Wasting time by wasting chances |
|
When all that's left here is emptiness and hope |
|
It's always darkest before the dawn will show |
|
So I've got to stay right |
|
Just to see it |
|
I've got to rise up and be much more |
|
There's nothing's new here |
|
My impact fading fast |
|
Why seize the hour if I can not make it last |
|
The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away |
|
The music's dying but its epitaph will say |
|
It's not over yet |
|
Just to see it |
|
I've got to rise up and be |
|
And be so much more |
|
Believe I know it |
|
I've got to be right... |
|
(Petrucci solo) |
|
There's a light at the end |
|
But a darkness begins |
|
As I take the task at hand |
|
For the glimpse that I see |
|
Is all that I need |
|
Just to try and understand |
|
Why my fate has let it stand |
|
Feel the meaning of power |
|
The meaning of fear |
|
But it's death that's chasing me fast |
|
So who really gives a damn |
|
If I make it at all |
|
I'm just another one that's passed |
|
The pain of a marathon that lasts... |
