Dream Theater The Gift of Music song lyrics

Far in the distant future

Beyond the pages of our time.

Cold blooded wicked tyrants

Threaten the freedom of mankind.

Corruption, lust, and greed, defy the new nobility

Changing the course of history.

Across the vast North Empire

Most people struggle to survive.

Living a meek existence

Where they're secludedly oppressed.

We are living day to day

Forced to bear the lion's share

People just don't have the time for music any more.

And no one seems to care

My friends have seen the chosen one

A quest for freedom has begun

He will be the answer to our prayers

There walks a god among us

Who's seen the writing on the wall.

He is the revolution

He'll be the one to save us all.

My brother Gabriel, is all the hope we need.

Shining like a beacon in the night.

Should give Ravenskill a reason to believe

Music is the gift he brings

The songbird stops to listen when he sings.
