VI READY
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief
Never could have just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down to the heart of it
The root of all evil been running my hole life
Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jealous enough to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
and let my life just waste away
Selfish enough to make you wait for me
Driven blindly by our sins
Misled so easily
Entirely ready to leave it behind
I'm begging to break free
Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away and help to give me strength to face another day
I'm ready
Help me be what I can be
VII REMOVE
Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger running all through me
Ready to explode
Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that keep haunting me
Won't leave my head
Help to do for me what I can't do myself
Take this fear and pain
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Help me break these chains
Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul
I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Round down to the foundation
The root of it all
Take all of me
And the drive that keep burning deep inside
Cast it all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me what I can be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away
The Answer Lies Within
Музыка:
Dream Theater
Слова: John Petrucci
Look around
Where do you belong
Don't be afraid
You're not the only one
Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go in a doubt
The answer lies within
Life is short
So learn from your mistakes
And stand behind
The choices that you make
Face each day
With both eyes open wide
And try to give
Don't keep it all inside
Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go in a doubt
The answer lies within
You've got the future on your side
You're gonna be fine now
I know whatever you decide
You're gonna shine
Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go in a doubt
You're ready to begin
Don't let a day go in a doubt
The answer lies within
These Walls
Музыка:
Dream Theater
Слова: John Petrucci
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through
Watch me
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now
So much uncertainly
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything
Watch me
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing
Tear down these wall's from
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's no too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls
Every time you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time
One more time
Watch me
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness
Tear down these wall's for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now
Tear down these walls for me
It's no too late for me
Tear down these walls for me
I Walk Beside You
Музыка:
Dream Theater
Слова: John Petrucci
There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me
Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking
Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Summon up your ghosts for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken
Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further
Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way
I will take you in
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Oh when everything is wrong
Oh when hopelessness surrounds you
Oh the sun will rise again
The tide you swim against will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Trough all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Panic Attack
Музыка: Dream Theater
Слова: John PetrucciAll wound up
On the edge
Terrified
Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified
Bouts of fear
Permeate
All i see
Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me
I'm paralyzed
So afraid to die
Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show
Tension strikes
Choking me
worries grow
Why do i feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight o flight
I don't know why I’m constantly so uptight
Rapid heartbeat poundings through my chest
Agitated body in distress
i feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress
A stifling surge
Shooting trough all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly I'm insane
Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best
Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should be this fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
Helpless Hysteria
A false sense of urgency
trapped in my phobia
possessed by anxiety
Run try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
Never Enough
Музыка:
Dream Theater
Слова: Mike Portnoy
Cut myself open wide
Reach inside
Help yourself
To all I have to give
And then you help yourself again
And then complain that
You didn't like the way
I put the knife in wrong
You didn't like the way
My blood spilled on your brand new floor
What would you say
If I walked away
Would you appreciate
But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough
Sacrifice my life
Neglect my kids and wife
All for you to be happy
All those sleepless nights
And countless fights to give you more
And then you say how dare that
I didn't write you back
I must be to good for you
I only care about myself
What would you say
If I walked away
Would you appreciate
But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough
Sacrificed Sons
Музыка:
Dream Theater
Слова: James LaBrie
Walls are closing
Anxiously
Channel surfing
Frantically
Burning city
Smoke and fire
Planes we're certain
Faith inspired
No clues
A complete surprise
Who'll be
coming home tonight
Heads all turning
Towards the sky
Towers crumble
Heroes die
Who would wish this on
On our people
And proclaim
That His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their sacrificed sons
Teach them
What to think and feel
Your ways
So enlightening
Words they preach
I can't relate
If God's true love
are acts of Hate
Who would wish this on
On our people
And proclaim
That His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their sacrificed sons
God on high
Our mistake
Will mankind be extinct
There's no time to waste
Who serves the truth
For Heaven's sake
Octavarium

Слова: см. ниже
I. SOMEONE LIKE HIM (Petrucci)
I never wanted to become someone like him to secure
Content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore That I'd
Never be someone like him
So many years have passed
Since i proclaimed
My independence
My mission
my aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That i could be
Something more than what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time
As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
II.MEDICATE (LaBrie)
A doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure i understand hi questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years
Where have i been
Eyes open
But not getting’ trough to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening
I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting trough me
III. FULL CIRCLE (Portnoy)
sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
lucy in the sky diamond dave's not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home
again
Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
flying off the handle with careful with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation's home again
Running forward
falling back
spinning round and round
looking outward
reaching in scream without a sound
Leaning over crawling up stumbling all around
losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
IV. INTERVALS (Portnoy)
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you
Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire
tortured Insanity
a smothering hell
Try to escape but to no avail
the calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
innocent victims of merciless crimes
fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become too late
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
V. RAZOR'S EDGE (Petrucci)
We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began
