A Life Left Behind

Dream Theater - A Life Left Behind

Album:The Astonishing

INT. EMPEROR'S PALACE - NIGHT

Faythe:

I never knew someone was out there

A long way from nowhere

Who could open my eyes

All this time while I'm sleeping

The world changed around me

Now I've never felt more alive

I'm waking up

From a life left behind

To see what lies ahead

I'm waking up

Empress Arabelle:

Fate found a way

To bring them together

Once and forever

And won't let them go

Nothing I say

Can keep her from leaving

Her life has new meaning

I lost her a long time ago

Faythe:

I'm waking up

From a life left behind

To see what lies ahead

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

Now that yesterday's gone

Won't close my eyes again

I'm waking up

I'll plan to return well-disguised

Make sure that I'm not recognized

Tomorrow a new sun will rise

And somehow I'll find you

Nothing will stand in my way

Soon I will see you again

I'm waking up

From a life left behind

To see what lies ahead

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

(I'm waking up)

Now that yesterday's gone

(Now that yesterday's gone)

I won't close my eyes

(I will never look back)

I'm waking up

Arabelle:

You'll be her shadow as she moves, my son

But she can never know you're there

She is alone and rebel guards are everywhere

Daryus:

I'll keep her safe from all danger

Won't let her out of my sight

Did I fail to mention my honest intentions?

This is the chance I deserve

Heed my words Justice will be served
