Lyrics by Mike Portnoy



The Miracle:

Friday evening

The blood still on my hands

To think that she would leave me now

For that ungrateful man



Sole survivor

No witness to the crime

I must act fast to cover up

I think that there's still time



He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note

They'll buy into the words that I wrote



"This feeling inside me

Finally found my love, I've finally broke free

No longer torn in two

I'd take my own life before losing you"



Victoria:

Feeling good this Friday afternoon

I ran into Julian

Said we'd get together soon



He's always had my heart

He needs to know

I'll break free of the Miracle

It's time for him to go



This feeling inside me

Finally found my love, I've finally broke free

No longer torn in two

He'd kill his brother if he only knew



Their love renewed

They'd rendezvous

In a pathway out of view

They thought no one knew

Then came a shot out of the night



The Sleeper:

One last time

We'll lay down today

One last time

Until we fade away

One last time

We'll lay down today

One last time

We fade away



As their bodies lie still

And the ending draws near

Spirits rise through the air

All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear

A blinding light comes into view

An old soul exchanged for a new

A familiar voice comes shining through



Nicholas:

This feeling inside me

Finally found my life, I'm finally free

No longer torn in two

I learned about my life by living through you



This feeling inside me

Finally found my life, I'm finally free

No longer torn in two

Living my own life by learning from you



We'll meet again my friend someday soon
