  printable copy of the lyrics to OCTAVARIUM 
[I. Someone Like Him]

Not the lyrics to "OCTAVARIUM" ?, Please report that below.
I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
Content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him

Is this song NOT from SCORE (2006) ? Would you report that?
So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time

If you can not find the lyrics you want, You may want to request them.
As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him

To add comments to "DREAM THEATER", Go to the lyrics listing page
A Doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep

For 30 years
Where have I been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away

Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening

 
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening

Lyrics are provided for educational purposes only
I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

Thank you for useing lyricsandsongs.

[IV. Intervals]

 
[First]
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path

--------------------
[Second]
Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you

 
[Third]
Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and fails muted breath

 
[Fourth]
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire

 
[Fifth]
Tortured Instanity
A smothering hell
Try to escape but no avail

--------------------
[Sixth]
The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more

 
[Seventh]
Innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs

 
[Eighth]
Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become too late

 
Trapped inside this Octavarium

[V. Razor's Edge]

 
We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge

 
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
Whose story ends where it began

 

14. Metropolis

--------------------
The smile of dawn
Arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow

 
Death is the first dance, eternal

 
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be confined to this mind

 
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire

--------------------
As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid

 
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eleuding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again

 
Deceit is the second without end

 
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive

--------------------
The third arrives

 
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home

 
It can only take place
When the struggle between our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know that the third is love

 
Love is the Dance of Eternity
