(Gardner solo)

(Petrucci solo)



In just a moment your life can slip away

Wasting time by wasting chances

When all that's left here is emptiness and hope

It's always darkest before the dawn will show



So I've got to stay right

Just to see it

I've got to rise up and be much more



There's nothing's new here

My impact fading fast

Why seize the hour if I can not make it last

The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away

The music's dying but its epitaph will say

It's not over yet

Just to see it

I've got to rise up and be

And be so much more

Believe I know it

I've got to be right...



(Petrucci solo)



There's a light at the end

But a darkness begins

As I take the task at hand

For the glimpse that I see

Is all that I need

Just to try and understand

Why my fate has let it stand

Feel the meaning of power

The meaning of fear

But it's death that's chasing me fast

So who really gives a damn

If I make it at all

I'm just another one that's passed

The pain of a marathon that lasts...



(Petrucci solo)
