[00:01.12]Dream Theater - The Shattered Fortress
[00:05.89]
[02:19.55]
[02:20.68]Freedom - calls my name
[02:22.36]Serenity – keeps me sane
[02:24.08]Happiness – it dulls the pain
[02:27.54]Honor - to save my fate
[02:29.25]Hoping - to run away
[02:30.91]Willingness - to understand
[02:34.54]Justice - for you not to judge
[02:36.25]Courtesy – for all to start
[02:38.01]Kindness – it's not that hard
[02:41.41]Self-restraint – the self impaired
[02:43.23]Inventory – my daily bread
[02:44.86]Analysis - and then you're gone
[02:48.08]
[02:49.36]Look in the mirror
[02:52.82]What do you see?
[02:56.17]The Shattered Fortress
[02:59.63]That once burned me
[03:02.56]
[03:03.23]Faithful ascent
[03:10.21]Through darkest fires
[03:17.29]I've found the path
[03:24.22]To take me higher
[03:29.23]
[03:44.68]You're smart enough 
[03:46.60]For me to trust
[03:48.25]Go live your life now 
[03:51.44]Just keep these steps
[03:53.45]In your life
[03:54.97]And you'll know how
[03:57.39]
[03:58.35]If you』re not sure
[04:00.32]Ask yourself
[04:01.84]"Have I done to them
[04:05.25]As I would have them
[04:08.86]Do to me?"
[04:11.25]
[04:12.58]Look in the mirror
[04:16.17]What's that you see?
[04:19.54]The Shattered Fortress 
[04:23.02]Fly now, be free!
[04:25.86]
[04:26.48]Faithful ascent
[04:33.50]Through darkest fires
[04:40.58]I've found the path
[04:47.45]To take me higher
[04:52.61]
[04:54.43]I once thought it better
[04:56.75]To be right
[05:01.59]But now I have finally seen the light
[05:09.75]Sometimes you've got to be wrong
[05:13.20]And learn from mistakes
[05:16.89]I live with serenity now
[05:20.23]Not self-righteous hate
[05:26.54]
[07:17.98](Help me be a channel of Thy peace
[07:21.05]That were there is hatred, I may bring love
[07:24.47]That were there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness
[07:28.98]That were there is discord, I may bring harmony
[07:32.75]That were there is error, I may bring truth
[07:36.57]That were there is doubt, I may bring faith)
[07:38.70]
[07:39.09]Now that you can see all you have done
[07:44.90](That were there is despair, I may bring hope
[07:47.98]That were there is shadow, I may bring light)
[07:49.58]
[07:49.87]It's time to take that step into the kingdom
[07:57.27](That were there is sadness, I may bring joy)
[07:58.94]
[08:00.23]All your sins will help to make you strong
[08:06.31](That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted
[08:09.62]That I may seek to understand, rather than to be understood)
[08:11.72]
[08:12.07]And help you break right through the prison wall
[08:18.18](That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved,
[08:21.41]for it is by self-forgetting that one finds,
[08:24.58]it is by forgiving that one is forgiven)
[08:26.01]
[08:27.36]Keep all of me 
[08:30.66]The desires that once burned me deep inside
[08:40.16]Help me live today 
[08:43.22]And help to give me grace 
[08:46.19]To carry out your ways
[08:51.10]
[08:51.50]I am ready, help me be all I can be
[09:04.15]I am ready, help guide me and keep me straight
[09:23.92]
[10:54.76]I am responsible when anyone, anywhere 
[11:01.93]Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there
[11:08.25]I am responsible when anyone, anywhere 
[11:15.51]Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there 
[11:52.87]
