A Better Life Lyrics - The Astonishing - Dream Theater

"Attention, battalion! 

To rank right, face! 

Forward, march!" 

EXT. RAVENSKILL REBEL COMMAND - NIGHT 

ARHYS 

As fearless leader of the Ravenskill Militia 

The blood of warriors flows throughout my veins 

My brother's gift remains my secret ammunition 

It is our hope, our pride 

A catalyst for change 

Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes 

On this perilous road to freedom 

He's our one and only guide 

For many years I've seen 

Our people starve and suffer 

How many more will die before we stand and fight?

They ask me "Arhys, could things be any tougher?" 

The answer's no surprise: "Yes, you bet your life!" 

Now the fires of revolution won't burn for evermore 

I see liberty in our future 

And it's one worth fighting for 

We all long for a better life 

Like a dream that can't be denied 

This is the moment 

Now is the time 

Freedom if we live or if we die 

I shall give him a better life 

I swore this vow to my dying wife 

Sure she would not survive 

Peacefully she slipped away 

The meaning in my life 

Photos 

Was born that day 

And so I found the strength to carry on with this crusade 

It is my fate 

Evangeline, you lived a life of misery and pain 

Evangeline, I'll never let your memory die in vain 

Evangeline, my heavy heart still bleeds 

I dedicate my life to set him free 

And I will carry on to plant the seeds 

I promise in the name of our new son 

This battle won't be over until it's won
