- dream theater'in awake albümünün ilk parçası
"six o'clock on a christmas morning..."
"and for what?"
"well, isn't it for the honor of god, [samples from the film "the dead",]
aunt kate?" [an adaptation of james joyce's ]
"i know all about the honor of god, [short story from his book ]
mary jane." ["dubliners". ]
six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
tries to shake it off but it just won't stop
can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep
and wood to chop before he sleeps
i may never get over
but never's better than now
i've got bases to cover
he's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
it's nine o'clock but he can't get out
he lights a cigarette
and turns the music down
but just can't seem to shake that sound
once i thought i'd get over
but it's too late for me now
i've got bases to cover
melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go
the pain inside
coming outside
so many ways to drown a man
so many ways to drag him down
some are fast and some take years and years
can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep
he finally found the sound but he's in too deep
i could never get over
is it too late for me now?
feel like blowing my cover
melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go
but don't cut your losses too soon
'cause you'll only be cutting your throat
and answer a call while you still hear at all
'cause nobody will if you won't

[short story from his bon't know if i know you
don't tell me you wanted me
don't tell me you thought of me
i won't, i swear i won't
(did)
i'll try, i swear i'll try
(lie)
mother mary quite contrary
kiss the boys and make them wary
things are getting just a little bit scary
it's a wonder i can still breathe
never been much of a doubting thomas
but nothing breaks like a broken promise
you tell me 'bout your two more coming
but once is just enough for me
i had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
she comes in apparently to fill the void
all dogs need a leash and
at least i'll forget it
and she would never hurt me though
she's never said it
but i'm not gonna ask her today
i don't wanna scare her away
your town, i'm all alone
and i just can't stare at the phone
i wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
and you can tell your stepfather i said so(lethe, 20.09.2004 21:47)
- ilk 40 saniyesinde 4 farklı ritime giren bir parçadır daha ne diyim ki, progressive'le insanın kanına girer.
- davulla girer o metronomda 16lıkları senkronize bir şekilde çalar mike portnoy hatta davul sololarındada kullanır.awakein açılış parçasıdır.insanı gazlar falan.
