Lyrics by Mike Portnoy



The Sleeper:

Shine- lake of fire

Lines take me higher

My mind drips desire

Confined and overtired



Living this charade

Is getting me nowhere

I can't shake this charade

The city's cold blood calls me home

HomeIt's what I long for

Back homewhere I belong



The city- it calls to me

Decadent scenes from my memory

Sorrow- eternity

My demons are coming to drown me



Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling

I can't keep away from its clutch

Can't have it, this habit

It's calling me back to my home



The Miracle:

I remember the first time she came to me

Poured her soul out all night and cried



I remember I was told there's a new love that's born

For each one that has died



I never thought that I

Could carry on with this life

But I can't resist myself

No matter how hard I try



Living their other life

Is getting them nowhere

I'll make her my wife

Her sweet temptation calls me home

Home, It's what I long for

My homewhere she belongs



Her ecstasy- means so much to me

Even decieving my own blood

Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles

She's taking me to my home



Help- he's my brother, but I love her

I can't keep away from her touch

Deception, dishonor

It's calling me back to my home



Nicholas:

Her story- it holds the key

Unlocking dreams from my memory

Solving this mystery

Is everything that is a part of me



Help- regression, obsession

I can't keep away from her clutch

Leave no doubt, to find out

It's calling me back to my home
