DREAM THEATER - A Better Life lyrics

rate me

As fearless leader of the Ravenskill militia

The blood of warriors

Flows throughout my veins

My brother's gift remains my secret ammunition

It is our hope, our pride

A catalyst for change

Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes

On this perilous road to freedom

He's our one and only guide

For many years I've seen our people starve and suffer

How many more will die

Before we stand and fight

They ask me Arhys,

'Could things be any tougher?'

The answer's no surprise,

'Yes, you bet your life!'

Now the fires of revolution won't burn for evamore

I see liberty in our future

And it's one worth fightin' for

We all long for a betta life

Like a dream that can't be denied

This is the moment

Now is the time

Freedom if we live or if we die

I shall give him a better life

I swore this vow to my dyin'g wife

Sure she would not survive

Peacefully

She slipped away

The meanin' in my life

Was born that day

And so I found the strength to carry on

With this crusade

It is my fate

Evangeline

You lived a life of misery and pain

Evangeline

I'll neva let your memory die in vain

Evangeline

My heavy heart still bleeds

I dedicate my life to set him free

And I will carry on to plant the seeds

I promise in the name of our new son

This battle won't be over until it's won
