Far in the distant future Beyond the pages of our time Cold-blooded wicked tyrants Threaten the freedom of mankind Corruption, lust, and greed Define the new nobility Changing the course of history Across the vast North Empire Most people struggle to survive Living a meek existence Where they're secludedly oppressed We are living day-to-day Forced to bear the lion's share People just don't have the time for music anymore But no one seems to care My friends have seen the chosen one Our quest for freedom has begun He will be the answer to our prayers There walks a god among us Who's seen the writing on the wall He is the revolution He'll be the one to save us all My brother Gabriel Is all the hope we need Shining like a beacon in the night Shed light on Ravenskill A reason to believe Music is the gift he brings The songbird stops and listens when he sings
Petrucci's tapping and pinch harmonics from 4:02 - 4:11 are so nasty. I love all guitar techniques but there's just something about the old school classic riff tricks that just sound awesome.
