Lyrics
Far in the distant future
Beyond the pages of our time
Cold-blooded wicked tyrants
Threaten the freedom of mankind
Corruption, lust, and greed
Define the new nobility
Changing the course of history
Across the vast North Empire
Most people struggle to survive
Living a meek existence
Where they're secludedly oppressed
We are living day-to-day
Forced to bear the lion's share
People just don't have the time for music anymore.
And no one seems to care
My friends have seen the chosen one
A quest for freedom has begun
He will be the answer to our prayers
There walks a god among us
Who's seen the writing on the wall
He is the revolution
He'll be the one to save us all
My brother Gabriel, is all the hope we need
Shining like a beacon in the night
Shed light on Ravenskill
A reason to believe
Music is the gift he brings
The songbird stops and listen when he sings
Writer(s): Jordan Rudess, John Petrucci
