Transcending Time - Dream Theater

Drifting in a far off place

I roam the countryside

Seeking wings of thought

Waiting in the blind

Enchanted and transfixed

I am pulled into the still

By a backward ticking clock

Held against my will

Illusions turn to dust

Scatter to the wind

Like dreaming while awake

Signals in the mist

Altered state of mind

Stars in the abyss

Transcending time

Midnight in the garden

Digging for a spark

Where seeds of inspiration

Lie buried in the dark

Attention starts to wonder

As the poet lifts his pen

And the critic from within

Is silenced once again

Limits leave no trace

Ashes in th rain

Lost and far away

Signals in the mist

Altered stat of mind

Stars in the abyss

Transcending time

Signals in the mist

Stars in the abyss

Euphoric obsession

Without conscious intention

Being pulled by the current

On a vessel steered by someone else

Transcending time

Transcending time

Transcending time

Transcending time
