Dream Theater - The Gift of Music Album:The Astonishing EXT. RAVENSKILL TOWN SQUARE - DAY Narrator: 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 While their secluded leader thrives Arhys: 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, I’ve 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 Shepherd of Ravenskill A reason to believe Music is the gift he brings The songbird stops to listen when he sings!
