Dream Theater

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to further concentrate on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess until September 8, 2010 when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011. more »

Morning comes too early ,
And night time falls too late.
And sometimes all I want to do is wait.
The shadow I've been hiding in 
Has fled from me today.

I know it's easier 
To walk away, 
Than look it in the eye. 
But I will raise a shelter to the sky 
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie 
She will slowly yield the light 
As I awaken from the longest night. 

Dreams are shaking set sirens waking up tired eyes
With the light the memories all rush into his head.
By a candle stands a mirror of his heart and soul she dances 
She was dancing through the night above his bed.
And walking to the window 

He throws the shutters out against the wall 
And from an ivory tower hears her call 
"Let light surround you" 

It's been a long, long time 
He's had a while to think it over 
In the end he only sees the change 
Light to dark 
Dark to light 
Light to dark 
Dark to light 

Heaven must be more than this 
When angels waken with a kiss 
Sacred hearts won't take the pain 
But mine will never be the same 
He stands before the window 
His shadow slowly fading from the wall 
And from an ivory tower he hears her call 
"Let the light surround you"

Once I was but I was found.
When I heard the stained glass
Shatter all around me.
She whispers words to clear my mind.
I once could see but now at last,
I'm blind.

I know it's easier 
To walk away, 
Than look it in the eye. 
But I have given all that I could take.
And now I've only habits left to break.
Tonight I'll still be lying here surrounded
In all the light.
