the great debate
dream theater
six degrees of inner turbulence
music: dream theater
lyrics: john petrucci
what if someone said
promise lies ahead
hopes are high in certain scientific circles
life won't have to end
you could walk again
what if someone said
problems lie ahead
they've uncovered something highly controversial
the right to life is strong
can't you see it's wrong
humankind has reached a turning point
poised for conflict at ground zero
ready for a war
do we look to our unearthly guide
or to white coat heroes
searching for a cure
turn to the light
don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
turn to the light
turning away would be a terrible mistake
anarchistic moral vision
industries of death
facing violent opposition
unmolested breathe
ethic inquisitions breed
antagonistic views
right wing sound bite premonitions
in a labyrinth of rules
are you justified
are you justified
are you justified
justified in taking
life to save life
life to save life
life to save life
this embryonic clay
wrapped in fierce debate
would be thrown away
or otherwise discarded
some of us believe
it may hold the key
to treatment of disease
and secrets highly guarded
are you justified
are you justified
are you justified
justified in taking
life to save life
life to save life
life to save life
human kind has reached a turning point
poised for conflict at ground zero
ready for a war
do we look to our unearthly guide
or to white coat heroes
searching for a cure
turn to the light
don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
turn to the light
turning away would be a terrible mistake
we're reaching
but have we gone too far
harvesting existence
only to destroy
carelessly together
we are sliding
someone else's future
four days frozen still
someone else's fate
we are deciding
miracle potential
sanctity of life
faced against each other
we're divided
should we push the boundaries
or should we condemn
moral guilt and science
have collided
turn to the light
we defy our own mortality these days
turn to the light
pay attention to the questions we have raised
