Shattered Fortress - Dream Theater
Freedom - Calls my name Serenity – Keeps me sane Happiness – It does the pain Honor - To see my prays Open - To run away Willingness - To understand Justice - What do you judge? Courtesy - For other flaws Kindness – It's not that hard Self-restraint (Suffer-strain?) – Recalling me Inventory – My daily friend Analysis - And then your god you're gone Look in the mirror What do you see? The Shattered Fortress That once burned me Faithful ascent Through darkest fires I've found the path To take me higher You're smart enough For me to trust To live your life now Just keep these steps In your life And you'll know how If you're not sure Ask yourself Have I done to them As I would have them Do to me Look in the mirror What's that you see? The Shattered Fortress Fly now, be free! Faithful ascent Through darkest fires I've found the path To take me higher I once thought it better To be right But now I have finally seen the light Sometimes you've got to be wrong And learn from mistakes I live with serenity now Not self-righteous hate Now that you can see all you have done It's time to take that step into the kingdom All your sins will help to make you strong And help you break right through the prison wall Keep all of me The desires that once burned me deep inside Help me live today And help to give me grace To carry out your ways I am ready Help me be all I can be I am ready Help guide me And keep me straight I am responsible When anyone, anywhere Reaches out for help I want my hand to be there I am responsible When anyone, anywhere Reaches out for help I want my hand to be there
