Dream Theater - The Gift Of Music Lyrics
Far in the distant future
Beyond the pages of our time
Cold-blooded wicked tyrants
Threaten the freedom of mankind
Corruption, lust and greed
Define the new nobility
Changin' the course of history
Across the vast North Empire
Most people struggle to survive
Livin' a meek existence
While their secluded leader thrives
We are livin' day to day
Forced to bare the lion's share
People just don't have the time for music anymore
And no 1 seems to care
My friends I've seen the chosen 1
Our quest for freedom has begun
He will be the answer to our prayers
There walks a god among us
Who's seen the writin' on the wall
He is the revolution
He'll be the 1 to save us all
My brother Gabriel is all the hope we need
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
Shepherd of Ravenskill
A reason to believe
Music is the gift he brings
The songbird stops to listen when he sings
Far in the distant future
Beyond the pages of our time
Cold-blooded wicked tyrants
Threaten the freedom of mankind
Corruption, lust and greed
Define the new nobility
Changin' the course of history
Across the vast North Empire
Most people struggle to survive
Livin' a meek existence
While their secluded leader thrives
We are livin' day to day
Forced to bare the lion's share
People just don't have the time for music anymore
And no 1 seems to care
My friends I've seen the chosen 1
Our quest for freedom has begun
He will be the answer to our prayers
There walks a god among us
Who's seen the writin' on the wall
He is the revolution
He'll be the 1 to save us all
My brother Gabriel is all the hope we need
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
Shepherd of Ravenskill
A reason to believe
Music is the gift he brings
The songbird stops to listen when he sings
