When you are in the hole, this is a light.

A lonely cry for help reaching out for help to anyone.

A silent prayer to God to help you on your way.

I've been depressed so long

It's hard to remember when I was happy.
I've felt like suicide a dozen times or more...

But that's the easy way,

that's the selfish way

the hardest part is to get on with your life...

You're searching in the dark

clutching at straws to find a way,

You take the Tarot cards and throw them to the wind.

You question your beliefs,

your inner thoughts, your whole existence...

And if there is a God then answer if you will...

And tell me of my fate,

tell me of my place

Tell me if I'll ever rest in peace.

If you could live your life again

Would you change a thing or leave it all the same?

If you had the chance again Would you change a thing at all...

When you look back at your past

Can you say that you are proud of what you've done

Are there times when you believe

That the right you thought was wrong...

All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me
(Repeat ´till "the end")

(Judgement of Heaven, Steve Harris)

Where did we come from?

Why are we here?

Where do we go when we die?

What lies beyond... And what lay before?

Is anything certain in life?

They say: "life is too short",

"The here and the now"

And "you´re only given one shot"...

But could there be more,

Have I lived before,

Or could this be all that weve got?

If I die tomorrow

I´d be allright

Because I believe

That after we´re gone

The spirit carries on...

I used to be frightened of dying

I used to think death was the end

But that was before

I´m not scared anymore

I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers

I may never understand why

I may never prove What I know to be true,

but I know that I still have to try...

If I die tomorrow

I´d be allright

Because I believe

That after we´re gone

The spirit carries on

"Move on, be brave!
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here...
But please never let

Your memory of me disappear..."

Safe in the light that surrounds me

Free of the fear and the pain

My questioning mind

Has helped me to find

The meaning in my life again

Victoria´s real

I finally feel

At peace with the girl in my dreams

And now that I´m here

Its perfectly clear

I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I´d be allright
Because I believe
That after we´re gone
The spirit carries on

(The Spirit Carries On, John Petrucci)
