Všechno to začalo na přelomu roku 1985, když studenti - kytarista John Petrucci a baskytarista John Myung potkali bubeníka Mike Portnoya ve zkušebním studiu na prestižní hudební konzervatoři Berklee v Bostnu. A tak se stal malý zázrak, který jim...

Píseň: The Root Of All Evil

Interpret:
Dream Theater
Album:
Octavarium
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief


Never could have just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down to the heart of it
The root of all evil has been running my whole life


Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jelous enough to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough to make you wait for me


Driven blindly by our sins
Misled so easily
Entirely ready to leave all behind
I'm begging to break free


Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be


VII. Remove


Self-centered fear has got a hold me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger running all through me
ready to explode


Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that keep haunting to me
Won't leave my head


Help to do for me what I can't do myself
Take this fear and pain
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Help me break these chains


Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul


I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Right down to the foundation
The root of it all


Take all of me
And the desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast it all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away
