sometimes, for a moment of bliss
and the passion, we're craving
there's a message we miss
sometimes when, the spirits left alone
we must believe in something
to find if we've grown
swept away with the tide
(swept away with the tide)
through the holes in my hands
(through the holes in my hands)
crown of thorns at my side
(crown of thorns at my side, yeah, yeah, yeah)
drawing lines in the sand
sometimes, if you're perfectly still
you can hear the virgin weeping
for the savior of your will
sometimes, your castles in the air
and the fantasies you're seeking
are the crosses you bear
swept away with the tide
(swept away with the tide)
through the holes in my hands
(through the holes in my hands, yeah)
crown of thorns at my side
(crown of thorns at my side)
drawing lines in the sand
we fabricate our demons
ınvite them into our homes
have supper with the aliens
and fight the war alone
we conjure up our skeletons
enlist the den of thieves
frightened from our closets
then sewn upon our sleeves
ın the stream of consciousness
there is a river crying
living comes much easier
once we admit
we're dying
sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake
there's a bitterness we harbor
and hate for hatred's sake
sometimes we dig an early grave
and crucify our instincts
for the hope we couldn't save
sometimes a view from sinless eyes
centers our perspective
and pacifies our cries
sometimes the anguish we survive
and the mysteries we nurture
are the fabrics of our lives
swept away with the tide
(swept away with the tide, yeah)
through the holes in my hands
(through the holes, holes in my hands)
crown of thorns at my side
learning to live ve metropolis part 1in gölgesinde kalan ama yine de muhteşem olan dream theater şarkılarından sadece biri. john petruccide ruh yok abi diyenler için gelen nefis bir solo barındırır aynı zamanda.
ama petrucci yine petrucci'liğini yapmış 2002 yılı romanya konseinde soloyu çoşturmuş, talk box bile kullanmıştır. http://www.youtube.com/...
girişindeki rudess (bkz: jordan rudess) efektleriyle bambaşka dünyalara yelken açtırtan, blues semalarında seyrederken birden saykolaştığımız enfes dream theater şarkısıdır. chaos in motion dvd sinde harika bir performansı bulunmaktadır.
