《Illumination Theory》歌词

[00:00:00] Illumination Theory - Dream Theater

[00:00:02] [Instrumental

[00:02:43] Consider this question

[00:04:05] Look deep inside

[00:04:07] Deliver a true confession

[00:04:10] What are you willing to live for

[00:04:12] Consider this question

[00:04:13] Open your eyes

[00:04:15] Examine your own reflection

[00:04:15] What are you willing to die for

[00:04:21] When your back's against the wall

[00:04:22] And your time's uncertain

[00:04:22] Consider this question

[00:04:23] No standing by

[00:04:24] When flesh and blood are threatened

[00:04:25] What are you willing to kill for

[00:04:28] We seek

[00:04:32] To understand

[00:04:35] We cry

[00:04:38] With head in hand

[00:04:41] The bridges we build to connect

[00:05:13] The distance that makes us forget

[00:05:16] Hate dividing us

[00:05:20] Love reminding us of our shared humanity

[00:05:22] Hope can be a shadow fleeting

[00:05:23] I would rather die believing

[00:05:24] Chancing it all in a final act of faith

[00:05:28] We seek

[00:05:33] To understand

[00:05:37] We cry

[00:05:40] With head in hand

[00:05:46] A story that needs to be told

[00:05:48] An answer that begs to found

[00:05:52] The beauty we wish to behold

[00:05:56] Is never too far away

[00:06:00] [III. The Embracing Circle

[00:06:01] [Instrumental

[00:06:02] [IV. The Pursuit of Truth

[00:06:04] Mothers for their children

[00:11:14] Husbands for their wives

[00:11:48] Martyrs for the kingdom

[00:11:49] Fighting for your life

[00:11:50] A soldier for his country

[00:11:55] A junkie for the high

[00:11:56] Teachers for their students

[00:11:57] Vengeance for a crime

[00:11:58] Rebels for their freedom

[00:12:01] A tyrant for the praise

[00:12:05] Cowards for salvation

[00:12:06] Money, love, and fame

[00:12:07] Noble and brave

[00:12:07] Lay down our lives for the cause

[00:12:11] Death over shame

[00:12:13] Grace before glory

[00:12:17] [V. Surrender, Trust & Passion

[00:12:23] To really feel the joy in life

[00:16:00] You must suffer through the pain

[00:16:06] When you surrender to the light

[00:16:11] You can face the darkest days

[00:16:21] If you open up your eyes

[00:16:29] And you put your trust in love

[00:16:36] On those cold and endless nights

[00:16:45] You will never be alone

[00:16:51] Passion glows within your heart

[00:16:59] Like a furnace burning bright

[00:17:08] Until you struggle through the dark

[00:17:14] You'll never know that you're alive
