The Spirit Carries On (Live) - Dream Theater

Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? What lies beyond And what lay before? Is anything certain in life? They say "Life is too short" "The here and the now" And "You're only given one shot" But could there be more Have I lived before Or could this be all that we've got? If I die tomorrow I'd be alright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on I used to be frightened of dying I used to think death was the end But that was before I'm not scared anymore I know that my soul will transcend I may never find all the answers I may never understand why I may never prove What I know to be true But I know that I still have to try If I die tomorrow I'd be alright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on "Move on, be brave Don't weep at my grave Because I'm no longer here But please never let Your memories of me disappear" Safe in the light that surrounds me Free of the fear and the pain My questioning mind Has help me to find The meaning in my life again Victoria's real I finally feel At peace with the girl in my dreams And now that I'm here It's perfectly clear I found out what all of this means If I die tomorrow I'd be alright Because I believe That after we�re gone The spirit carries in

One love, one love Oh, carries on One touch, one touch Oh, carries on, oh hee One look, one look Oh, carries on, oh hee One smile, when can you give me, when can you give me Touch me, can you give me, oh, can you give me Love me, come and give me, oh, can you give me some Of the gift that carries on One word, one word Oh, carries on One smile, one smile Oh, carries on, oh hee One love, ah, ah, one love, hey Oh, carries on, oh hee One smile, when can you give me, when can you give me Touch me, come and give me, oh, come and give me Love me, come and give me, oh, can you give me some Of the gift that carries on One smile, when can you give me, when can you give me Touch me, come and give me, oh, can you give me Love me, come and give me, oh, can you give me some Of the gift that carries on

Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive Plays that song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood Off on your way, hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the spirits ever lingers Undemanding contact in your happy solitude Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennas bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free All this machinery making modern music Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty Yeah, your honesty One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes and endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennas bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free For the words of the profits Were written on the studio wall Concert hall Echoes with the sounds of salesmen Of salesman, of salesmen, oh Hello, how are you doing down, Rio? Thank you so much, good night Thank you so much Right now it's time to let the dogs out

Tunnel vision at blinding speed Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me Void of any uncertainty Throughout my very soul Lost illusions of mind control Resisting all hope of letting go Racing impulse of dark desire Drives me through the night I try to shut it down It leaves me in the dust No matter what I've found I can never get enough Frantic actions of insanity Impulsive laced profanity Long for elusive serenity Way out of my control Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering Focus here, focus there Cannot see the light Falling down through the night Sprawling everywhere Searching left, searching right Panic setting in I can no longer fight When will this end? Accelerate, dislocate Set to crash and burn Haven't got time to waste Not planning to return Aggravate, agitate When will I ever learn? There's no way out of here Nowhere to turn Obsessive yearning Compulsive burning Still never learning Insane random thoughts of neat disorder Scattered wasteland surrounding me Tattered memories of what used to be Apocalyptic mind debris Until we meet again Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Can't stop the wheels from turning Traveling through both space and time You get yours and I got mine Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering
