In The Presence Of Enemies - Dream Theater

I saw a white light shining there before me

And walking to it, I waited for the end

A final vision promising salvation

A resurrection for a fallen man

Do you still wait for your God

And the symbol of your faith?

I can free you from this Hell and misery

You should never be ashamed, my son

I can give you power beyond anything

Trust me you will be the chosen one

I was forgotten, a body scorned and broken

My soul rejected, tainted by his blood

Beyond redemption, a sinner not worth saving

Forever taken from the one I loved

Do I still wait for my God

And a symbol of my faith?

I can lead you down the path and back to life

All I ask is that you worship me

I can help you seek revenge and save yourself

Give you life for all eternity

Servants of the fallen fight to pave the way

For their savior’s calling on this wicked day

Through a veil of madness, with a vicious blade

One man rises up, standing in their way

Redemption

Redemption for humanity!

III: Heretic

Welcome tired pilgrim into the circle

We have been waiting

Everyone’s gathered for your arrival

All the believers

Angels fall all for you, heretic

Demon heart, bleed for us!

I’ve been waiting for you

Weary preacher man

You have been expected

Now we can begin

Let this hallowed

Day of Judgment reign

I have known you father

And your sacred quest

Blessed soldier fighting

You shall never rest

I have known you

But do you know me?

Angels fall all for you, heretic

Demon heart, bleed for us!

My soul is yours, Dark Master!

I will fight for you!

Dark Master within, I will fight for you

Dark Master of sin, now my soul is yours

Dark Master, my guide, I will die for you

Dark Master inside!

I cannot see his face

But I could feel his spite

A presence from the dead

Abandoned by the light

This shadow will

Consume him from within

This power that I sense

The rage behind those eyes

Is just a shrouded ghost

A spirit sealed inside

The body and the soul both threats

For they are one!

Angels fall all for you, heretic

Demon heart, bleed for us!

My soul is yours, Dark Master!

I will fight for you!

Dark Master within, I will fight for you

Dark Master of sin, now my soul is yours

Dark Master, my guide, I will die for you

Dark Master inside!

Dark Master, amen

I belong to you!

Dark Master within

IV: The Slaughter Of The Damned

Don’t bother, trying to find them

They will be coming to you

Fight, fight and destroy until you can’t take anymore!

Slay, spill the blood of the rebels

They are the children of Hell

Flesh of the undead, stopping at nothing to kill

Sin, caught in a moment of weakness

Committed the greatest of all

Sold half of my soul and now it’s too late for you

I judge as my eyes see

I judge and I am just

For I speak of the beast

That lives in all of us

Unwelcome ones

Your time has come!

Lord, you are my god and my shepherd

Nothing more shall I want

Walk through the abyss

Into the shadow of death

Fear, there is no evil to fear now

For I know you are with me

My cup overflows

With my enemy’s blood

I decay in the house of the Lord

Forever amen

Death will follow me

All the days of my life

I judge as my eyes see

I judge and I am just

For I speak of the beast

That lives in all of us

Unwelcome ones

Your time has come!

Servants of the fallen fight to pave the way

For their savior’s calling on this wicked day

Through a veil of madness, with a vicious blade

One man rises up, standing in their way

It’s time for your reckoning!

V: The Reckoning

VI: Salvation

My soul grows weaker

He knows and he waits

He watches over me

Standing at the infernal gates

In the hour of darkness

The moment I feared has passed

The moment I lost my faith

Promising salvation

My soul is my own now!

I do not fight for you, Dark Master!
