Dream Theater - The Killing Hand Lyrics
I. the observanceAn angels kiss now fallenDescending scarlet cuts the skyFaded names left on the wallHonor the fighting leave life to dieRemembered is the sacrifice butNo praisal of blood still flowingWho were the leaders?What controlled the killing handThat caused this mourning?Crossing over...Ii. ancient renewalLowered deep into the seaBeing awaits to cleanse his soulSenses weakening time is stillMotionless by stiffening coldThe wheels race back andScorch his mindTravelling all to find the landRevelation warms a touchAnd now, he will begin toUnderstandIii. the stray seedExtended a view to yesterdayManifestation for none the sameWalking amidst a frightening stillNo sound, no smoke, no scorchingFlamesHe is risen...Sipping his poison the raven singsYet another to add more bodies fallenKing from belowThis one controlsThe killing hand that caused this mourning.Is it all over?Iv. thornsEvil genius this secret planMercy dealt with the losing handWill he ever fell?Can he end it all?Our savior must make his standOnly a prophet of years to comeWanting mortality Im all aloneHe heard my voiceIt was my choiceIve stopped the killing handV. exodusWhen I go back againWill it be the same?Ive stopped the criesBut now they know my nameThe sea is calling meMy spirit must returnAs I get closer,Was it really worthWhat I have learned?Im in the valleyAnd the saddened chimes I hearRace toward the wall to findOne more name appearsNo one is left nowMy one and only landI laugh at what Ive doneI am the killing hand
