[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Mike Portnoy]
I`m much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
They taught me how
For better or worse
Alive or dead
I realize
There`s no turning back
Life goes on
The offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I`ve lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He`s my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
"Seize the day
And don`t you cry
Now it`s time
To say good-bye
Even though
I`ll be gone
I will live on
Live on"
