[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]
No one dared to

Speak of the terrible danger
The hideous ancient warnings
Forged in the void of night



He has risen up

Out of the blackness

Chaos

The last of the prophets

Sinister

A sickening monstrous sight



Through the stifling heat

Underneath the pale green moon



I burned with a thirst

To seek things not yet seen



Climbing endless stairs

Leading to the choking room



Eager to explore

His most shocking mysteries



Drifting beyond all time

Out of a churning sky

Drawn to the beckoning light

Of the dark eternal night



Black forces

Rage in the vortex,

Fighting

Waves of destruction

Swallowing

The echo of the universe



I am the last

Born of the blood of the pharaohs

The ultimate god of a rotting creation

Sent to unleash this curse



Restless crowds draw near

Nameless hooded forms appear



Amidst fallen ruins

Grotesque creatures battle



Shadowed on a screen

Yellow evil faces leer



Vacant monuments

Corpses of dead worlds left behind



Drifting beyond all time

Out of a churning sky

Drawn to the beckoning light

Of the dark eternal night



Trapped in a hellish dream

Spinning past worlds unseen

And frightfully vanishing

Into the dark eternal night



Drifting beyond all time

Out of a churning sky

Drawn to the beckoning light

Of the dark eternal night



Trapped in a hellish dream

Spinning past worlds unseen

And frightfully vanishing

Into the dark eternal night
