- John Petrucci

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss

And the passion, we're craving

There's a message we miss

Sometimes when, the spirits left alone

We must believe in something

To find if we've grown

Sometimes, if you're perfectly still

You can hear the virgin weeping

For the savior of your will

Sometimes, your castles in the air

And the fantasies you're seeking

Are the crosses you bear

Swept away with the tide

(Swept away)

Through the holes in my hands

(In my hands)

Crown of thorns at my side

(Crown of thorns at my side)

Drawing lines in the sand

Tragic reflex, shattered calm

Static progress, senses gone

Numb awareness, final psalm

Sacred conflict, blessed prize

Weeping crosses, stainless eyes

Desperate addict, faith disguised

Swept away with the tide

(Swept away)

Through the holes in my hands

(In my hands)

Crown of thorns at my side

(Crown of thorns at my side)

Drawing lines in the sand
