Dream Theater

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to further concentrate on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess until September 8, 2010 when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011. more »

(Hold it now)
(Wait a minute)
(Come on! whew)
Just let me catch my breath 
I've heard the promises 
I've seen the mistakes 
I've had my fair share of tough breaks 
I need a new voice, a new law, a new way 
Take the time, reevaluate 
It's time to pick up the pieces 
Go back to square one 
I think it's time for a change 

There is something that I feel 
To be something that is real 
I feel the heat within my mind 
And craft new changes with my eyes 
Giving freely wandering promises 
A place with decisions I'll fashion 
I won't waste another breath 

You can feel the waves coming on 
(It's time to take the time) 
Let them destroy you or carry you on 
(It's time to take the time) 
You're fighting the weight of the world 
But no one can save you this time 
Close your eyes 
You can find all you need in your mind 

The unbroken spirit obscured and disquiet 
Finds clearness this trial demands 
And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief 
For the fortune lies still in his hands 
If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year 
A man must learn to cope 
If his obsession's real 
Suppression that he feels must turn to hope 

Life is no more assuring than love 
(It's time to take the time) 
There are no answers from voices above 
(It's time to take the time) 
You're fighting the weight of the world 
And no one can save you this time 
Close your eyes 
You can find all you need in your mind 

I close my eyes 
And feel the water rise around me 
Drown the beat of time 
Let my senses fall away 
I can see much clearer now I'm blind 

(Ora che ho perso la vista) 
(Ci vedo di piu) 
  
You can feel the waves coming on 
(It's time to take the time) 
Let them destroy you or carry you on 
(It's time to take the time) 
You're fighting the weight of the world 
But no one can save you this time 
Close your eyes 
You can find all you need in your mind 

Find all you need in your mind 
If you take the time 
Find all you need in your mind 
If you take the time
