[00:32.76] Lyrics: John Petrucci
[02:52.98] What if someone said
[02:55.30] Promise lies ahead
[02:57.93] Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
[03:03.08] Life won't have to end
[03:05.67] You could walk again
[03:13.31] What if someone said
[03:16.14] Problems lie ahead
[03:18.24] They've uncovered something highly controversial
[03:23.68] The right to life is strong
[03:26.12] Can't you see it's wrong
[03:33.85] Humankind has reached a turning point
[03:38.18] Poised for conflict at ground zero
[03:41.60] Ready for a war
[03:44.81] Do we look to our unearthly guide
[03:49.11] Or to white coat heroes
[03:52.55] Searching for a cure
[03:55.68] Turn to the light
[04:01.83] Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
[04:07.26] Turn to the light
[04:13.17] Turning away would be a terrible mistake
[04:28.30] Anarchistic moral vision
[04:30.24] Industries of death
[04:32.57] Facing violent opposition
[04:34.96] Unmolested breathe
[04:37.43] Ethic inquisitions breed
[04:39.77] Antagonistic views
[04:42.19] Right wing sound bite premonitions
[04:44.51] In a labyrinth of rules
[04:48.65] Are you justified
[04:51.55] Are you justified
[04:54.42] Are you justified
[04:56.70] Justified in taking
[04:58.60] Life to save life
[05:01.53] Life to save life
[05:04.43] Life to save life
[05:11.06] This embryonic clay
[05:13.94] Wrapped in fierce debate
[05:16.92] Would be thrown away
[05:19.19] Or otherwise discarded
[05:22.70] Some of us believe
[05:25.65] It may hold the key
[05:28.47] To treatment of disease
[05:30.66] And secrets highly guarded
[05:35.19] Are you justified
[05:38.15] Are you justified
[05:41.07] Are you justified
[05:43.62] Justified in taking
[05:45.43] Life to save life
[05:48.40] Life to save life
[05:51.31] Life to save life
[05:57.89] Human kind has reached a turning point
[06:02.41] Poised for conflict at ground zero
[06:05.90] Ready for a war
[06:09.65] Do we look to our unearthly guide
[06:13.99] Or to white coat heroes
[06:17.65] Searching for a cure
[06:21.32] Turn to the light
[06:27.39] Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
[06:33.02] Turn to the light
[06:38.72] Turning away would be a terrible mistake
[06:45.02] We're reaching
[06:47.65] But have we gone too far
[07:41.66] Harvesting existence
[07:45.19] Only to destroy
[07:49.07] Carelessly together
[07:52.25] We are sliding
[07:56.57] Someone else's future
[08:00.42] Four days frozen still
[08:04.22] Someone else's fate
[08:06.91] We are deciding
[08:11.95] Miracle potential
[08:15.66] Sanctity of life
[08:19.54] Faced against each other
[08:22.28] We're divided
[08:27.21] Should we push the boundaries
[08:30.93] Or should we condemn
[08:34.71] Moral guilt and science
[08:37.51] Have collided
[08:58.71] Turn to the light
[09:06.02] We defy our own mortality these days
[09:13.60] Turn to the light
[09:21.33] Pay attention to the questions we have raised
