another  hand  -  dream  theater

  an  angel's  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  mouthing?

    crossing  over...

    lowered  deep  into  the  sea

    being  a  waits  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

  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?

    evil  genius  this  secret  plan

    mercy  dealt  with  the  losing  hand

    will  he  ever  fall?

  can  he  end  it  all?

  our  savior  must  make  his  stand

    only  a  propher  of  years  to  come

    wanting  mortality  i'm  all  alone

    he  heard  my  voice

  it  was  my  choice

  i've  stopped  the  killing  hand

    when  i  go  back  again

    will  it  be  the  same?

    i've  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?

    i'm  in  the  valley

    and  the  saddened  chimes  i  hear

    race  towards  the  wall  to  find

    one  more  name  appears

    no  one  is  left  now

    my  one  and  only  land

    i  laugh  at  what  i've  done

    i  am  the  killing  hand
