1. Don't Look Past Me Studio - Kevin Moore

Sample

"I don't know, I feel a lot of
distance and I feel far away.
I'll see you later..."

Robert DeNiro from the film "The Deer Hunter".

I have seen you born before me
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me

Leave no question in your mind
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, the sun is I
I am the sun...

So close the door behind him
He wanders slowly to the car
Trying to lift his heavy heart
He says...

Sample "I feel bad about this.
I feel really bad about this.
Just, just let me feel bad about this."

Timothy Hutton from the film "Ordinary People".

I'm through just getting by
Countless times a friend has told me
Watch out for the wave
Now it seems the sea will be my grave
And still you swim to save me
Even though the water is much colder now
Even though the water is much colder now

Sometimes you can act on intuition
Sometimes you can use a different point of view
I've found that in such a position
I could always come to you
(Sun) I've seen you weep
I have seen you tired and lonely (without you)
But it only takes one heart (one heart)
To lift you up and send you on
Can you understand the life I've shown you

Understand it's me, I'm giving you
I have seen you born before me
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me

I have no question in my mind
There's been no brighter star to guide me
I don't look past you to the sun,
so don't look past me to the sun,
The sun is...

And so love is broken
They're asking me how can you help
When you don't even know how that feels
I don't need one thousand reasons
When someone starts to cry
When someone says my heart needs lifting
Don't ask how come, ask how high

I have seen you born before me
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me

Leave no question in your mind
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, the sun is I

Leave no question in your mind
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, (it knows where you are)

2. To Live Forever - John Petrucci

If I'd started from the top
And worked my way down
There'd be no reason
To live forever
To live forever
The starvation has turned
Me outside in
And the wind has blown
Me halfway across the world
Across the world
Why was I born
In an age of distrust
I'd offered some change
For a photograph
It will always stay the same   **A**
You will always be the same
Until I saw the desire for revenge
My heart never once went astray
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there is no reason
To live forever
I found you where     03:37 lyrics by KM
They left you there
A passing word that's gone forever
And searching my memory for answers
I saw the words of a letter you wrote
She said 'You don't have to live forever,
You don't want to live forever.'
And everything's changing now,
I don't want to live forever.

Alternate ending - (Live in Tokyo Home Video) Beginning at **A** above.

It will always stay the same
Always be the same
Until I saw the desire for revenge
My heart never once went astray
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there is no reason
To live forever
Until I saw the desire for revenge
As long as I have to die in the attempt
If I had to charge the attack
Let me
No reason
No reason
No reason
No reason
To Live Forever

Alternate ending - (Studio acoustic version - ) Beginning at **A** above.

It will always stay the same
Always be the same
Until I show desire for revenge
My heart never once went astray
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there'd be no reason
To live forever
Until I show desire for revenge
As long as I have to die in the attempt
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there'd be no reason
No reason
No reason
To Live Forever
To Live Forever
'This just in from Baghdad... Seven patriot missiles
have been spotted above Cuba.'

3. Eve - The Samples

Used on " THE Dance Of Eternity " , the lyrics are from "Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce.
The "moo cow" part is from somewhere else, the "ivory tower" part from somewhere else still, and the "Our Father" part from the Lord's Prayer.

---

[soft piano]

Chapter One Once upon a time, and a very good time it was,
There was a moo cow coming along down the road.

---

[instrumental]

---

So He came Himself in weakness, not in power,
And He sent thee, the creature, in His stead.
With the creature's comeliness, and luster,
Suited to our state.

---

[brief break]

---

And now, thy very face and form dear mother
Speak to us of the eternal.
Not like earthly beauty, dangerous to look upon;
But like the morning star, which is thy heirloom,
Bright, and musical, breathing purity,
Telling of Heaven and its easing peace.

---

[brief break]

---

O harbinger of day! O light of the pilgrim!
Lead us still, as thou hast led,
In the dark night, across the bleak wilderness;
Guide us on to our Lord Jesus; guide us home.

---

[instrumental]

---

"Tower of Ivory?" they used to say, "House of Gold?"
"How could a woman be a tower of ivory or a house of gold?"

---

[instrumental]

---

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name,
Lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil.

---

[fadeout]

This has been used live as an intro to both Pull Me Under (on the Dance of Eternity bootleg, which is also the most complete version) and Learning to Live (at any number of shows, including both Phoenix shows of March and May 1993, among others, and skips the Tower of Ivory part) The above is the composite transcription. At times, it has been performed without the voice samples altogether.

4. Cover My Eyes - John Petrucci

I've got my hands out in front of my face
But I can hardly see
I've bathed myself in holy water
But it doesn't bother me

Under my skin, upon my head
Inside the walls, beneath my bed
My black and whites are turning red

Cover my eyes and tell me
Am I really blind
Cover my eyes and tell me
Have I lost my mind

I've got my fingers to the blade
But I can't feel a thing
Open my eyes in salty water
But it doesn't even sting

Under my skin, upon my head
Stuck in my throat, beneath my breath
My black and whites are turning red

Cover my eyes and tell me
Am I really blind
Cover my eyes and tell me
Have I lost my mind
Have I lost my mind
Have I lost my mind

Under my skin, upon my head
In through my ??? is playing dead
My black and whites are turning red

Cover my eyes and tell me
Am I really blind
Cover my eyes and tell me
Have I lost my mind

Cover my eyes and tell me
Am I really blind
Cover my eyes and tell me
Have I lost my
Have I lost my mind
Have I lost my mind
Have I lost my mind

5. Speak To Me - James LaBrie

I remember when we were so young
You embraced my fears and made me strong
Never did you actually hold my hand
Your silence no one else would understand

Did you fall?
Did you crawl?
Will you open up at all?
Did you hear
things you fear?
Did I make it clear?

Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're feeling inside
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're feeling inside
Do you like the clothes she wears today
Colliding love affair against a shade
Often times I wish she'd speak to me
Her only open book, a world revealed to see

Did you fall?
Did you crawl?
Will you open up at all?
Did you hear
things you fear?
Did I make it clear?

Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're feeling inside Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me all you're feeling inside

So easy, easier
If you spoke to me
So easy, easier
Speak to me

Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're feeling inside
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me all you're feeling inside

6. The Way It Used To Be - James LaBriel

Feelin' sick once again
I'd give anything
To be back home
Safe and warm inside

I can't stand the crowds
Or the smell that surrounds me
The cloth and key
Still preach chastity

Take me back so I can see
The way it used to be

I lay down and enter a dream
Unlike anywhere I've been
All is silent and sweet

Then I'm falling down to the ground
And I'm lost from what I've found
Can't stand the sounds no more
Take me back so I can see
The way it used to be
The way it used to be
Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within
Bring me to the land

Radio waves
Splash through my head
To a rhythm that I crave
Radio waves
Relive the moment
Seems like yesterday

Take me back to Twelve Mile Bay
Where I'll sit at the edge with my feet in the water
Take me back as the sun fades away
Break down the walls so I can breathe

Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within
Bring me to the land

Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within

The way it used to be
The way it used to be

Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within
Bring me to the land

Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within
