[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Mike Portnoy]
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my
head
They taught me how
For better or worse
Alive or dead
I realize
There's no turning back
Life goes on
The
offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have
come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has
come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
"Seize the day
And don't you cry
Now it's time
To say
good-bye
Even though
I'll be gone
I will live on
Live on"
