Midnight Messiah

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Wiley Wiggins, Richard Linklater] "That's my problem. I'm like I'm trapped. I keep thinking that I'm waking up but I'm still in a dream, it seems like it's going on forever, I can't get out of it, I want to wake up for real. How do you really wake up? When I finally woke up, I was like, "Whoa, that wasn't a dream. That was a visitation to this real place: the Land of the Dead."" [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: James LaBrie] Lost time, thought I lost my mind How the hell did I end up here? Rewind, help to remind The last thing I can remember Dreamtime, floating cloud nine Heavenly bliss utopia Sublime, feeling so divine Just another pl5asant nightmare [Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie] In my dreams ther5's a song I once knew Like an uncanny strange d�j� vu Memories flashing all through my brain Over and over and over again [Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] Midnight messiah Darkness descends Eternally wired The dream never ends Twilight desires Midnight messiah [Verse 2: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] Moon shine, time to come alive No rest for the wicked Downtown, have a look around Feeding the obsession in my head There's a place that I go Where no one's afraid It's a feeling that we all know But everyone's ashamed to say [Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] In my dreams there's a flame burning bright Constant motion shines into the night Forevermore blistering out of control Over and over and over it goes [Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] Midnight messiah Darkness descends Eternally wired The dream never ends Twilight desires Midnight messiah [Bridge: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] Back in the Waking life A midsummer night's dream I realize I can no longer fly alone Help find my destiny Take me back into the dream For all eternity It's calling me back to my home [Guitar Solo] [Guitar and Keyboard Unison] [Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie] In my life I've lost all self-control Like a sword piercing this dying soul Breaking and shaking and left in the cold Watch this compulsive obsession unfold [Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] Midnight messiah Darkness descends Eternally wired The dream will never end [Post-Chorus: James LaBrie] I can't stand the pressure The daytime collectors I'll never go back there again Keep those eyes closed You're now going home Forever alive in your head [Outro: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy] Twilight eternal Midnight messiah [Instrumental Outro]
