to live forever

Aslında grubun ilk dönemlerine ait eski bir şarkı olmasına rağmen dream theater tarafından sadece konserlerde yorumlanan, ilk defa 'live in tokyo' dvd'sinde yer alan, daha sonra 1999 sonu itibarıyla sadece fan club üyelerine gönderdikleri cleanning out the closet albümünde 1991 ve 1994'e ait iki ayrı performansıyla yer alan, kevin moore derinliğinin bariz olarak hissedildiği, aynı zamanda özellikle tokyo dvd'sinde petrucci'nin inanılmaz kopuşuyla doğaçlamaya da ne kadar müsait bir şarkı olduğunu belli eden, dt'nin az tanınan, az bilinen hazinelerinden biri.

to live forever - dream theater

If I'd started from the top
And worked my way down
Thered be no reason
To live forever
To live forever

The starvation has turned
Me outside in
And the wind has blown
Me halfway across the world
Across the world

Why was I born
In an age of distrust
Id offered some change
For a photograph

It will always stay the same
You will always be the same

Until I saw the desire for revenge
My heart never once went astray
As long as I have to die in the attempt
Then there is no reason
To live forever

I found you where
They left you there
A passing word thats gone forever

And searching my memory for answers
I saw the words of a letter you wrote
She said you dont have to live forever,
You dont want to live forever.
And everythings changing now,
I dont want to live forever.
