The Shattered Fortress (Live at the Boston Opera House, Boston, MA, 3/25/2014) (Live From The Boston Opera House)

The Shattered Fortress (Live From The Boston Opera House) - Dream Theater (夢劇場)

Freedom calls my name

Serenity keeps me sane

Happiness it dulls the pain

Honest to see my place

Open to other ways

Willingness to understand

Justice but do not judge

Courtesy for others flaws

Kindness it's not that hard

Self restraint of tongue and pen

Inventory my daily friend

Analysis let down your guard

Look in the mirror

What do you see

The shattered fortress

That once bound me

Faithful ascent through darkest fires

I've found the path to take me higher

You're smart enough for me to trust go live your life now

Just keep these steps in your life and you'll know how

If you're not sure ask yourself

Have I done to them as I would have them do to me

Look in the mirror

What do you see

The shattered fortress

That once bound me

Faithful ascent through darkest fires

I've found the path to take me higher

I once thought it better to be right

But now I have finally seen the light

Sometimes you've got to be wrong

And learn from mistakes

I live with serenity now

Not self righteous hate

Help me be a channel of thy peace

That where there is hatred I may bring love

That where there is wrong

I may bring the spirit of forgiveness

That where there is discord I may bring harmony

That where there is error I may bring truth

That where there is doubt I may bring faith

Now that you can see all you have done

That where there is despair I may bring hope

That where there are shadows I may bring light

It's time to take that step into the kingdom

That where there is sadness I may bring joy

All your sins will help to make me strong

That I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted

That I may seek to understand than to be understood

And help you break right through the prison wall

That I may seek to love rather than to be loved

For it is by self forgetting that one finds

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven

Keep all of me

The desires that once burned me deep inside

Help me live today

And help to give me grace

To carry out your way

I am ready help me be all I can be

I am ready help guide me and keep me free

I am responsible when anyone anywhere

Reaches out for help I want my hand to be there

I am responsible when anyone anywhere

Reaches out for help I want my hand to be there
