[00:01.05] The Root of All Evil
[00:02.69] Dream Theater
[00:04.01] Octavarium
[00:05.41]
[00:06.67] Music: Dream Theater
[00:07.96]
[00:10.73] <VI. Ready>
[01:17.57]
[01:28.48] Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
[01:35.17] Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
[01:41.88] Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
[01:48.59] Cruel enough for me to feel no grief
[01:53.56]
[01:54.47] Never could have just a part of it
[01:57.67] I always need more to get by
[02:01.15] Getting right down to the heart of it
[02:04.32] The root of all evil has been running my whole life
[02:08.36]
[02:22.18] Dirty enough for me to lust
[02:25.51] Leaving nothing left to trust
[02:28.88] Jealous enough to still feel envious
[02:35.57] Lazy enough to sleep all day
[02:38.90] And let my life just waste away
[02:42.27] Selfish enough to make you wait for me
[02:47.19]
[02:48.37] Driven blindly by our sins
[02:51.01] Misled so easily
[02:54.87] Entirely ready to leave it behind
[02:57.99] I'm begging to break free
[03:00.95]
[03:03.25] Take all of me
[03:06.57] The desires that keep burning deep inside
[03:16.55] Cast them all away
[03:19.81] And help to give me strength to face another day
[03:28.42] I am ready
[03:33.44] Help me be what I can be
[03:41.00]
[03:42.02] <VII. Remove>
[03:55.57]
[03:57.01] Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
[04:00.54] Clutching my throat
[04:04.31] Self righteous anger running all through me
[04:08.01] Ready to explode
[04:10.04]
[04:11.69] Procrastination paralyzing me
[04:15.42] Wanting me dead
[04:19.21] These obsessions that keep haunting me
[04:22.89] Won't leave my head
[04:25.17]
[04:26.20] Help to do for me what I can't do myself
[04:29.85] Take this fear and pain
[04:33.55] I can't break out this prison all alone
[04:37.25] Help me break these chains
[04:39.86]
[04:40.95] Humility now my only hope
[04:47.16] Won't you take all of me
[04:51.12] Heal this dying soul
[04:54.55]
[04:56.69] I can feel my body breaking
[04:59.69] I can feel my body breaking
[05:02.59] I'm ready to let it all go
[05:07.71] I can feel my body shaking
[05:10.71] Right down to the foundation
[05:15.02] The root of it all
[05:17.92]
[06:26.63] Take all of me
[06:29.73] The desires that keep burning deep inside
[06:40.07] Cast it all away
[06:43.22] And help to give me strength to face another day
[06:51.74] I am ready
[06:56.85] Help me be what I can be
[07:05.24] I am ready
[07:10.29] Come to me
[07:13.20] Take me away
[07:17.81]
[07:47.90] (Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his friends)
