New Millennium Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
A single star behind me
A red sky burns ahead
A lonely light below me
Awake among the dead
An overwhelming feeling
Leaves me numb and strange
A sense of new beginning
I sense a wind of change
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Out with the old useless
People so cold ruthless
Welcome in a new millennium!
How many times must I
Live out this nightmare?
I can't wait until a new millennium!
[Chorus]
I've got this feeling
The tide is turning now, baby!
Funny feeling, everything's gonna be alright now
[Bridge]
Living out a constant deja vu
(Keep your head up!)
Please be patient we will get to you
(Keep your head up!)
Just have some faith and you can see it through
(Keep your head up!)
But faith don't pay the rent that's overdue
(Keep your head up!)
All that's glittering is turning blue
(Keep your head up!)
What they want from me ain't gotta clue
(Keep your head up!)
Swallow pride before it swallows you
(Keep your head up!)
Don't dare bite the hand that's starving you
(Keep your head up!)
[Verse 2]
How can you keep your head
And not go insane when the only light at the end
Of the tunnel is another train?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The lies ten feet tall
Have broken my fall
Welcome you all new millennium
It's well overdue and I can't wait to
Welcome in a new millennium
[Chorus]
I've got this feeling
The tide is turning now, baby!
Funny feeling, everything's gonna be alright now
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
I've got this feeling
The tide is turning now, baby!
Funny feeling, everything's gonna be alright now
I've got this feeling
The tide is turning now, baby!
Funny feeling, everything's gonna be alright now
Peruvian Skies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There, there it is
I swear he's gonna murder that poor kid
Wait, I hear it again
Don't turn on the lights until we
Hear the way it ends
[Chorus]
Under Peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that she's losing for hate
[Post-Chorus]
Poor Vanessa
Poor, poor Vanessa
[Verse 2]
Hey, I hope you know
I'm taking all of this with me when I go
Shame, you're not to blame
I'm the monster you created
In your daddy's name
[Chorus]
Under Peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that she's losing for hate
[Post-Chorus]
Poor Vanessa
Poor Vanessa
[Bridge]
Terror by night
Liar by day
Telling her secrets won't take them away
[Guitar Solo: John Petrucci]
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Under Peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that she's losing for hate
Hollow Years Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's just the kind of man you hear about
Who leaves his family for an easy out
They never saw the signs, he never said a word
He couldn't take another day
[Pre-Chorus]
Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand
[Chorus]
Once the stone you're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years
[Verse 2]
She's not the kind of girl you hear about
She'll never want another, she'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs, she'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand (Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand
[Chorus]
Once the stone you're crawling under (Once the stone)
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years
[Guitar Solo: John Petrucci]
[Pre-Chorus]
Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand (Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand
[Chorus]
Once the stone you're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years
[Outro]
Once the stone you're crawling under
Once the stone you're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear)
Once the stone you're crawling under
(The crashing down of hollow years)
Once the stone you're crawling under
Once the stone you're crawling under
Once the stone you're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear)
(Crashing down of hollow years)
Burning My Soul Lyrics
[Intro]
Burning my soul
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder
The chill up my spine, can't get any colder
And you wonder why I can't smile
[Verse 2]
A knot in my gut, an ape on my back
In the heat of the moment, I'm knocked off the track
You drop the ball, I pick up the slack
And you ask me why my hair’s gray
[Pre-Chorus]
Twisting, turning
Losing all sense of yearning
Living and learning
The pressure keeps on burning my soul
[Chorus]
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul)
[Verse 3]
I say it's green and then you tell me it's red
Keep your thoughts and ideas locked inside of your head
We've got someone who can think for you instead
And he sounds just like the last one
[Pre-Chorus]
Twisting, turning
Losing all sense of yearning
Living and learning
The pressure keeps on burning my soul
[Chorus]
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
[Bridge]
Responsible thinkers throw caution to the wind
But I find myself speaking from within
I can't live my life walking on eggshells
To stay on your good side
Using your words controlling my life
Can't you see, it's my words that gives you your life
So I hurt your feelings, well I'm really sorry
But I don't give a shit, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Twisting, turning
Losing all sense of yearning
Living and learning
The pressure keeps on burning my soul
[Chorus]
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Burning my soul
(Burning my soul) Yeah
Take Away My Pain Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
He said, "look at poor Gene Kelly
I guess he won't be singing in the rain"
You can take away my heroes
Can you take away my pain?
[Chorus]
Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain
Don't stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened anymore
Just stay with me tonight
I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knocking at your door!
[Verse 2]
She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, "What else can you do, babe?
I guess I won't be coming home again"
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain!
[Chorus]
Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain
Don't stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened anymore
Just stay with me tonight
I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knocking at your door!
[Bridge]
His final scene
The actor bows
And all those years
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling out my name
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain?
[Chorus]
Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It's time to let it rain
There's nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened anymore
I'm learning to survive
Without you in my life
'Til you come knocking at my door!
[Instrumental Outro]
Trial of Tears Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Under the sun, there is nothing to hide
Under the moon, the stranger waits inside
People disappear, the music fades away
Splashing through the rain, I'll dream with them one day
[Chorus]
It's raining, raining on the streets of New York City
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
It's raining, raining on the streets of New York City
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
Raining deep in heaven
[Post-Chorus]
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
And as I walk through all my myths
Rising and sinking like the waves
With my thoughts wrapped around me
Through a trial of tears
[Bridge]
Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up
Not much better than the man you hate
II. Deep in Heaven
[Instrumental]
III. The Wasteland
[Verse]
Still awake
I continue to move along
Cultivating my own nonsense
Welcome to the wasteland
Where you'll find ashes, nothing but ashes
Still awake, bringing change, bringing movement, bringing life
A silent prayer thrown away
Disappearing in the air
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
Nowhere to turn
I look for a way back home
[Outro]
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
[Instrumental Outro]
