The Killing Hand — текст песни (Dream Theater)

I. the observance

An angels kiss now fallen

Descending scarlet cuts the sky

Faded names left on the wall

Honor the fighting leave life to die

Remembered is the sacrifice but

No praisal of blood still flowing

Who were the leaders?

What controlled the killing hand

That caused this mourning?

crossing over...



Ii. ancient renewal

Lowered deep into the sea

Being awaits to cleanse his soul

Senses weakening time is still

Motionless by stiffening cold



The wheels race back and

Scorch his mind

Travelling all to find the land

Revelation warms a touch

And now, he will begin to

Understand



Iii. the stray seed

Extended a view to yesterday

Manifestation for none the same

Walking amidst a frightening still

No sound, no smoke, no scorching

Flames

he is risen...



Sipping his poison the raven sings

Yet another to add more bodies fallen

King from below

This one controls

The killing hand that caused this mourning.

is it all over?



Iv. thorns

Evil genius this secret plan

Mercy dealt with the losing hand

Will he ever fell?

Can he end it all?

Our savior must make his stand



Only a prophet of years to come

Wanting mortality Im all alone

He heard my voice

It was my choice

Ive stopped the killing hand



V. exodus

When I go back again

Will it be the same?

Ive stopped the cries

But now they know my name



The sea is calling me

My spirit must return

As I get closer,

Was it really worth

What I have learned?



Im in the valley

And the saddened chimes I hear

Race toward the wall to find

One more name appears



No one is left now

My one and only land

I laugh at what Ive done

I am the killing hand
