Endless Sacrifice (Live at Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan, 4/26/2004) - Dream Theater

Composed by：John Petrucci

Cold

Lying in my bed

Staring into darkness

Lost

I hear footsteps overhead

And my thoughts return

Again

Like a child who's run away

And won't be coming back

Time keeps passing by

As night turns into day

I'm so far away

And so alone

I need to see your face

To keep me sane

To make we whole

Try to stay alive

Until I hear your voice

I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why

I chose this life

This superficial lie

Constant compromise

Endless sacrifice

Pain

It saddens me to know

The helplessness you feel

Your light

Shines on my soul

While a thousand candles

Burn

Outside this barren room

The rain is pouring down

The emptiness inside

Is growing deeper still

You're so far away

And so alone

You long for love's embrace

To keep you sane

To make you whole

Try to stay alive

Until I hear your voice

I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why

I chose this life

This superficial lie

Constant compromise

Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted

Isolated

Time escaping

Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted

Isolated

Time escaping

Endless sacrifice

Over the distance

We try to make sense

Of surviving together

While living apart

Striving for balance

We rise to the challenge

Of staying connected

In spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken

And all that you've done

So that I could live out

This undying dream

Won't be forgotten

Or taken for granted

I'll always remember

Your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted

Isolated

Time escaping

Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted

Isolated

Time escaping

Endless sacrifice
