(Gardner solo)n(Petrucci solo)nnIn just a moment your life can slip awaynWasting time by wasting chancesnWhen all that's left here is emptiness and hopenIt's always darkest before the dawn will shownnSo I've got to stay rightnJust to see itnI've got to rise up and be much morennThere's nothing's new herenMy impact fading fastnWhy seize the hour if I can not make it lastnThe cynics laugh hard and the pundits write awaynThe music's dying but its epitaph will saynIt's not over yetnJust to see itnI've got to rise up and benAnd be so much morenBelieve I know itnI've got to be right...nn(Petrucci solo)nnThere's a light at the endnBut a darkness beginsnAs I take the task at handnFor the glimpse that I seenIs all that I neednJust to try and understandnWhy my fate has let it standnFeel the meaning of powernThe meaning of fearnBut it's death that's chasing me fastnSo who really gives a damnnIf I make it at allnI'm just another one that's passednThe pain of a marathon that lasts...nn(Petrucci solo)
