The Gift Of Music Lyrics - The Astonishing - Dream Theater

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.
