__Αν ήμουν σπίτι μπορεί και να καθόμουν να βγάλω αυτούς που δεν βρήκα ή να τσεκάρω ότι είναι σωστοί αυτοί που έχουν ανέβει (ειδικά στις αρχές είναι γεμάτοι μικρολαθάκια). Εχω τσεκάρει μόνο το On the backs που το παραθέτω διορθωμένο (μάλλον, 2 φορές κι εγώ το άκουσα). Μέχρι να έχουμε το booklet λοιπόν (αν και πολλές φορές υπάρχουν και εκεί ασυμφωνίες με το τι τελικά τραγούδησε /ηχογράφησε επακριβώς ο τραγουδιστής), ιδού όσα υπάρχουν τώρα (ίσως στο φόρουμ των θίατερ να ανέβουν όλα από λεπτό σε λεπτό -γνωστό πόσο πορωμένοι είναι οι οπαδοί -χεχε):
[SPOILER]
[B]1. On The Backs Of Angels
[/B]
[john petrucci]
Standing on the Backs of Angels
Destined to create
Mounting the attack
While heroes carry our weight
We spiral towards disaster
Survival fading faster
Riding off the wave
Content to feed off the machine
Leading us to the death
The new American Dream
You’re blinded by your hunger
Beware, your days are numbered
[chorus]
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burning me, lead me like the lamb to the slaughter
Blurring lines drawn in between
What is right and what is wrong
Victims on the radar
Straining us alone
We’re on to your agenda
The dead-end road to nowhere
[chorus]
[piano & guitar solo]
[chorus]
Selfless are the righteous
Burning me, lead me like the lamb to the slaughter
[B]2. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
[/B]
Today, I will be a savior,
tomorrow a demon.
You crave my erratic behavior
and watch my every move.
Obsession at all costs,
you’ll be the death of me.
Broken and torn apart,
why can’t you let me be?
You build me up, you break me down
until I’m falling to pieces.
I crash and burn, I never learn,
I’m your guilty addiction.
Build me up! Break me down!
Today…a savior…
Tonight, I am the new messiah you deify.
When I’m no longer desired,
I’ll be crucified.
The one who’s free from sin,
the first to cast the stone.
Fighting the fear within,
I won’t be left alone.
You build me up, you break me down
until I’m falling to pieces.
The price I pay to live this way,
and the fantasy stays alive.
I can’t live up, I can’t let down
and leave you falling to pieces.
I crash and burn, I never learn,
I’m your morning obsession.
Build me up! Break me down!
(I will be - your savior…)
You build me up, you break me down
until I’m falling to pieces.
The price I pay to live this way,
and the fantasy stays alive.
I can’t live up, I can’t let down
and leave you falling to pieces.
I crash and burn, I never learn,
your iconic fixation.
Build me up! Break me down!
Build me up! Break me down!
[B]5. Bridges In The Sky
[/B]
Blackness awakens, visions come alive.
Seeing through darkness with borrowed eyes.
Death survivor, take me higher,
reunite my soul.
Whisperer of truth, I trust in you
to make me whole.
Sun, come shine my way,
make healing waters bury all my pain.
Wind, carry me home,
the fabric of reality is tearing apart.
The piece of me that died
will return to live again.
Feeling myself slip away,
silently dreaming awake,
hidden memories flooding back.
I will not grow in the light
until I pass through the darkest caverns
of my heart.
Dance with fire, spirit guiding race
the world outside.
Messenger of truth, I trust in you,
transform me now.
Sun, come shine my way,
make healing waters bury all my pain.
Wind, carry me home,
the fabric of reality is tearing apart.
The piece of me that died
will return to live again.
And at last the time has come
to unite again as one,
to the power of the earth I’m calling.
Crossing bridges in the sky
on a journey to renew my life.
Shaman, take my hand!
Sun, come shine my way,
make healing waters bury all my pain.
Wind, carry me home,

The piece of me that died

And at last the time has come
to unite again as one,
to the power of the earth I’m calling.
Crossing bridges in the sky
on a journey to renew my life.
Shaman, take my hand!
[B]7. Far From Heaven
[/B]
No one truly has the answers
everyday i struggle through it, once more
keep things bottled up
never speaking my mind
misinterpreted i’m doing just fine
everyday i put a brave face on
serves me when
feeling helpless facing it alone
hard to tell, that i, can change who i am, how i feel
theres no end
i have done what you asked of me
leaves me nothing to live for
coming undone way to higher price
i should pay,
you keep your pride while i die inside
everyday no i cant lie anymore
Wont Pretend i’ve done all i can
You cant imagine
the hell i’m going through
not asking you to save me
Im too far from heaven
Nothing you can do to change me
but accept me as i am
[B]9. Beneath The Surface
[/B]
Is there ever really a right time
You had led me to believe
Someday you’d be there for me
When the stars above align
When you weren’t so concerned
I kept looking for the clues
So I waited in the shadows of my heart
And still the time was never right
Until one day I stopped caring
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
And I disappeared into the darkness
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
A shell of what things could have been
Tired bones beneath the veil
Of guarded secrets all too frail
Sad to think I never knew
You were searching for the words
For the moment to emerge
Yet the moment never came
You couldn’t risk my fragile frame
Until one day you stopped caring
And began to forget why you tried to be so close
And you disappeared into the darkness
And the darkness turn to pain and never went away
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
I would scream just to be heard
As if yelling at the stars
I was bleeding just to feel
You would never say a word
Kept me reaching in the dark
Always something to conceal
Until one day I stopped scaring
And began to forget why I longed to be so close
And I disappeared into the darkness
And the darkness turned to pain and never went away
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
