Dream Theater - "Afterlife" (live video)

I touched with one who made me
run away from my own soul.
In this world with its many illusions
we are moving like mice through a maze.

Now I find what's left behind
has served to make me whole.
Full of doubt, deception and delusion,
seeking purpose to all earthly days.

I search within, beneath a skin
that bears both pleasure and pain.
In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze.

In the Afterlife will dark be bright,
will cold be warm, will the day have no night.
In the Afterlife will the blind have sight,
in the Afterlife.

Behind closed eyes some comfort lies,
in knowing the truth never spoken.
Through this world with us, hidden conclusion,
we'll keep moving like mice through a maze.

In the Afterlife will dark be bright,
will cold be warm, will the day have no night.
In the Afterlife will the blind have sight,
in the Afterlife.

Το καλοκαίρι του 1989 κυκλοφορούσε το (μυθικό) ντεμπούτο των Dream Theater υπό τον τίτλο "When Dream and Day Unite" και η "σκληρή" μουσική δεν θα ήταν ποτέ η ίδια. Λίγους μήνες νωρίτερα, τον Ιανουάριο του ιδίου έτους, "βγήκε" το single "Afterlife", το οποίο προετοίμαζε το έδαφος. Παρακολουθούμε το βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" ηχογράφηση - φιλμογράφηση του τραγουδιού όπως κυκλοφόρησε το 2006 ως μέρος του live album "Score - 20th Anniversary World Tour Live with the Octavarium Orchestra"...
