Dance Of Eternity Lyrics
Dream Theater
Lyrics
Eternity
Robbie Williams
Close your eyes
So you don't feel them
They don't need
To see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try
To sing this summer serenade
The past is done we've been betrayed
It's true
Some might say
The truth will out
But I believe without a doubt in you
You were there
For summer dreaming
And you gave me
What I need
And I hope you
Find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
Yesterday when
We were walking
You talked about
Your ma and dad
What they did that
Made you happy
What they did that
Made you sad
We sat and watched
The sun go down
Then picked a star
Before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come
And gone too soon
You were there
For summer dreaming
And you gave me
What I need
And I hope you
Find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
For eternity
To sing this summer serenade
The past is done we've been betrayed
It's true
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come
And gone too soon
You were there
For summer dreaming
And you are
A friend indeed
And I hope you
Find your freedom
for eternity
You were there
For summer dreaming
And you are
A friend indeed
And I know you'll
Find your freedom
Eventually
For eternity?
Song & Lyrics Facts
Dream Theater's "Dance of Eternity" is a progressive metal song from the album Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory, released in 1999 by East West Records.
The genre combines elements of heavy metal and progressive rock with its complex instrumental sections, including shredding guitar solos and intricate drum patterns. Written by Dream Theater members John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy and Jordan Rudess, the lyrics explore themes of mortality and eternity. It features the band's current lineup at the time - James LaBrie on vocals, John Myung on bass, John Petrucci on guitar, Mike Portnoy on drums, and Jordan Rudess on keyboards. The song has become a staple of Dream Theater's live performances; it was voted as the third most popular track to be played live in a poll conducted by the band's official website. Its popularity led to an instructional video entitled “Inside Out: A Comprehensive Look at 'Dance of Eternity'” which was released in 2000 featuring the band's members teaching viewers how to play the song.
