Dream Theater Lyrics


So bare and empty it stands in a wilted scenery

It was once so splendid, the origin of dreams.

Deep in your thoughts it spins your experience

To a thick ball of dreams

Once you were able to wonder

And now you feel so grown up, like a perfect guy

No tear will ever find its way through your eyes

I can still hear you laughing

Still see you playing between the columns

An opera of youth was performed in the hall

You wrote the lyrics to every scene

Today the dream theater plays the last act.

The forgotten ruin crumbles deep in you

Forgotten all your dreams

All the things you've been through

The cold wind howls

The velvet curtains fall

Please try to remember - you used to count on it too

Now all your roses

You once tended in your brain

Are old and withered -

No more life in their veins

I can still hear you laughing

Still see you playing between the columns

An opera of youth was performed in the hall

You wrote the lyrics to every scene

Today the dream theater plays the last act.

Once I could hear every whisper in the rows

It was once so stately,

You could cry and laugh

Now your emotions - Frozen in an icey lake -

How couild that happen

You once promised to be different...

I can still hear you laughing

Still see you playing between the columns

An opera of youth was performed in the hall

You wrote the lyrics to every scene

Today the dream theater plays the last act.

You have lied to me

I believe in you
