Dream Theater
Through My Words / Fatal Tragedy - Live In Montreal, QC 10/7/11
SCENE THREE

I. Through My Words

[Nicholas:]
All your eyes have ever seen
All you've ever heard
Is etched upon my memory
Spoken through my words

All that I take with me
Is all you've left behind
We're sharing one eternity
Living in two minds
Linked by an endless thread
Impossible to break

II. Fatal Tragedy

[Intro: Nicholas]
Alone at night, I feel so strange
I need to find all the answers to my dreams
When I sleep at night, I hear the cries
What does this mean?

[Verse 1: Nicholas]
I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him, he talked to me that night:
[Old Man]
"Lad, did you know a girl was murdered here?
This fatal tragedy was talked about for years!"
Victoria's gone forever, only memories remain!
She passed away, she was so young

[Chorus: Nicholas]
Without love, without truth
There can be no turning back!
Without faith, without hope
There can be no peace of mind!

[Verse 2: Nicholas]
As the night went on, I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy, a mystery still today
I tried to get more answers, but he said, "You're on your own"
Then he turned away and left me as I stood there all alone
He said, "You'll know the truth as your future days unfold"

[Chorus: Nicholas]
Without love, without truth
There can be no turning back!
Without faith, without hope
There can be no peace of mind!
