Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2 Scenes From A Memory Nicholas
[ one Last Time ]
It doesnt make any sense
This tragic ending
In spite of the evidence
Theres something still missing
Heard some of the rumors told
A taste of ones wealth
Did Victoria wound his soul?
Did she bid him farewell?
Victoria:
One last time
Well lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
Well lay down today
One last time
We slowly fade away
Nicholas:
Here I am inside his home
It holds the many clues
To my suspicions
And as Im standing here right now
Im finally shown what I have always known
Coincidence I cant believe
As my childhood dreams slowly come true
Are these her memories
Awakened through my eyes
This house has brought back to life
An open door
I walk on through
Into his bedroom
Feeling as cold as outside
The walls disappear
To some woman whos screaming
A man pleads forgiveness
His words I cannot hear
[ The Spirit Carries on ]
Nicholas:
Where did we come from,
Why all 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 Youre only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that weve got?
If I die tomorrow
Id be all right
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
Im 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
Id be all right
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on
Victoria:
Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear
Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victorias real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
Its perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
Id be all right
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on
