Illumination Theory Lyrics - Dream Theater - Dream Theater

Consider this question 

Look deep inside 

Deliver a true confession 

What are you willing to live for? 

Consider this question 

Open your eyes 

Examine your own reflection 

What are you willing to die for? 

When your back is against the wall 

And your time is uncertain 

Consider this question 

No standing by 

When flesh and blood are threatened 

What are you willing to kill for? 

We seek to understand 

We cry with hand in hand

The 18 Greatest Revenge Songs of All Time 

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The bridges we build to connect 

The distance that makes us forget 

Hate dividing us, love reminding us 

Of our shared humanity 

Hope can be a shadow fleeting 

I would rather die believing 

Capture it all in a final act of faith 

We seek to understand 

We cry with hand in hand 

A story that needs to be told 

An answer that begs to be found 

The beauty we wish to be hold 

Is never too far away 

Mothers for their children 

Husbands for their wives 

Martyrs for the kingdom 

Fighting for your life 

Photos 

A soldier for his country 

A junkie for the high 

Teachers for their students 

Vengeance for a crime 

Rebels for their freedom 

A tyrant for the prize 

Cowards for salvation 

Money, love, and faith 

Noble embrace 

Lay down our lives for the cause 

Death over shame 

Grace before glory 

To really feel the joy in life 

You must suffer through the pain 

When you surrender to the light 

You can face the darkest days 

If you open up your eyes 

And you put your trust in love 

On those cold and endless nights 

You will never be alone 

Passion glows within your heart 

Like a furnace burning bright 

Until you struggle through the dark 

You'll never know the joy in life 

Never know, never to know 

You'll never know 

You'll never know
