Dream Theater
Scene Six: Home (Live at Madison Square Garden, 2010)
[Verse 1: The Sleeper]
Shine, lake of fire!
Lines take me higher!
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired

Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can’t shake this charade
The city’s cold blood calls me home

[Refrain: The Sleeper]
Home! It’s what I long for!
Back home where I belong!

[Chorus: The Sleeper]
The city, it calls to me!
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow, eternity!
My demons are coming to drown me

Help, I’m falling, I’m crawling
I can’t keep away from its clutch
Can’t have it, this habit
It’s calling me back to my home
[The Miracle (spoken)]
I remember the first time she came to me
She poured her soul out all night and cried

I remember I was told there’s a new love that’s born
For each one that has died

[Verse 2: The Miracle]
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can’t resist myself
No matter how hard I try

Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I’ll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home

[Refrain: The Miracle]
Home, it’s what I long for!
My home, where she belongs!

[Chorus 2: The Miracle]
Her ecstasy means so much to me
Even deceiving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She’s taking me to my home
Help, he’s my brother, but I love her
I can’t keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It’s calling me back to my home

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3: Nicholas]
Her story, it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me

Help, regression, obsession
I can’t keep away from her touch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It’s calling me back to my home
