Wait For Sleep/Surrounded (Live 1993|Explicit)

Wait for Sleep and Surrounded - Dream Theater (夢劇場)

Lyrics by：LaBrie/Petrucci/MOORE/Myung

Composed by：LaBrie/Petrucci/MOORE/Myung

Standing by the window

Eyes upon the moon

Hoping that the memory

Will leave her spirit soon

She shuts the doors and lights

And lays her body on the bed

Where images and words are

Running deep

She has too much pride to pull

The sheets above her head

So quietly she lays and waits

For sleep

She stares at the ceiling

And tries not to think

And pictures the chains

She's been trying to link again

But the feeling is gone

And water can't cover her

Memory

And ashes can't answer her

Pain

God give me the power to take

Breath from a breeze

And call life from a cold metal

Frame

In with the ashes

Or up with the smoke from the

Fire

With wings up in heaven

Or here lying in bed

Palm of her hand to my head

Now and forever curled in my

Heart

And the heart of the world

Morning comes too early

And nighttime falls too late

And sometimes all I want to do is wait

The shadow I've been hiding in

Has fled from me today

I know it's easier to walk away

Than look it in the eye

But I will raise a shelter to the sky

And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie

She will slowly yield the light

As I awaken from the longest night

Dreams are shaking

Set sirens waking up tired eyes

With the light the memories

All rush into his head

By a candle stands a mirror

Of his heart and soul she dances

She was dancing through the night above his bed

And walking to the window

He throws the shutters out against the wall

And from an ivory tower hears her call

Let light surround you

It's been a long long time

He's had a while to think it over

In the end he only sees the change

Light to dark

Dark to light

Light to dark

Dark to light

Heaven must be more than this

When angels waken with a kiss

Sacred hearts won't take the pain

But mine will never be the same

He stands before the window

His shadow slowly fading from the wall

And from an ivory tower hears her call

Let the light surround you

Once lost but I was found

When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me

I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill

But I will hold this one on high above me still

She whispers words to clear my mind

I once could see but now at last I'm blind

I know it's easier to walk away

Than look it in the eye

But I had given all that I could take

And now I've only habits left to break

Tonight I'll still be lying here

Surrounded in all the light
