Awake (to a life of misery)歌詞

Dream Theater - A Nightmare To Remember
@ 活在當下 製作
A nightmare to remember
I'll never be the same
What began as laughter
So soon will turn to pain
The sky was clear and pretty
The air was thick and still
Now I'm not one to soon forget
And I'll bet I never will
Picture for a moment
The perfect irony
A flawless new beginning
Eclipsed by tragedy
The uninvited stranger
Started dancing on his own
So we said goodbye to the growing pride
And we made our way back home
Life was so simple then
We were so innocent
Father and mother
Holding each other
Without warning, out of nowhere
Like a bullet, from the night
Crashing glass, rubber and steel
Scorching fire, glowing light
Screams of terror, pain of fear
Sounds of silence, smoke in my eyes
Silent stillness, blackened silence
No more screaming, no more cries
Stunned and bewildered
Cold and afraid
Torn up and broken
Frightened and dazed
Stunned and bewildered
Cold and afraid
Torn up and broken
Frightened and dazed
Lying on the table, in some familiar place
I'm greeted by a stranger, a man without a face
He said "Son, do you remember, do you even know your name?"
Then he shined a light into my eyes and said "Take this for the pain"
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery
In peaceful sedation I lay half awake
And all of the panic inside starts to fade
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
"Tell me does this hurt you?" said the faceless man
"Can you move all of your fingers, can you try your best to stand?"
I asked about the others "Is everyone okay?"
He told me not to worry, as he turned and looked away
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
I am endlessly falling, lost in this wonderful misery
In peaceful sedation I lay half awake
And all of the panic inside starts to fade
Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony
Day after day, and night after night
We play out the events, did they ever see the red light?
Over and over, scene by scene
Like a recurring nightmare, haunted by dreams
How can you prepare, for what would happen next?
No son should ever have to see his father in such a mess
It's a miracle he lived, it's a blessing no one died
By the grace of god above, everyone survived
Hooouh!!
Life was so simple then
We were so innocent
It will stay with us forever
A nightmare to remember
