      - John Petrucci



    Sometimes, for a moment of bliss

    And the passion, we're craving

    There's a message we miss

    Sometimes when, the spirits left alone

    We must believe in something

    To find if we've grown



    Sometimes, if you're perfectly still

    You can hear the virgin weeping

    For the savior of your will

    Sometimes, your castles in the air

    And the fantasies you're seeking

    Are the crosses you bear



    Swept away with the tide

      (Swept away)

    Through the holes in my hands

      (In my hands)

    Crown of thorns at my side

      (Crown of thorns at my side)

    Drawing lines in the sand



    Tragic reflex, shattered calm

    Static progress, senses gone

    Numb awareness, final psalm



    Sacred conflict, blessed prize

    Weeping crosses, stainless eyes

    Desperate addict, faith disguised 



    Swept away with the tide

      (Swept away)

    Through the holes in my hands

      (In my hands)

    Crown of thorns at my side

      (Crown of thorns at my side)

    Drawing lines in the sand
