surrounded (live at budokan, 2017) - dream theater lyrics

[intro]
morning comes too early
and nighttime falls too late
and sometimes all i want to do is wait
the shadow i’ve been hiding in
has fled from me today

[verse 1]
i know it’s easier to walk away
than look it in the eye
but i will raise a shelter to the sky
and here beneath this star tonight i’ll lie
she will slowly yield the light
as i awaken from the longest night

[verse 2]
dreams are shaking
set sirens waking up tired eyes
with the light the memories
all rush into his head
by a candle stands a mirror
of his heart and soul she dances
she was dancing through the night above his bed

[chorus]
and walking to the window
he throws the shutters out against the wall
and from an ivory tower hears her call
“let light surround you”
[bridge]
it’s been a long, long time
he’s had a while to think it over
in the end he only sees the change
light to dark
dark to light
light to dark
dark to light

[verse 3]
heaven must be more than this
when angels waken with a kiss
sacred hearts won’t take the pain
but mine will never be the same

[chorus]
he stands before the window
his shadow slowly fading from the wall
and from an ivory tower hears her call
“let the light surround you”

[verse 4]
once lost but i was found
when i heard the stained glass shatter all around me
i sent the spirits tumbling down the hill
but i will hold this one on high above me still
she whispers words to clear my mind
i once could see but now at last i’m blind
[outro]
i know it’s easier to walk away
than look it in the eye
but i had given all that i could take
and now i’ve only habits left to break
tonight i’ll still be lying here
surrounded in all the light
