Sleeping Giant - Dream Theater

Some will be driven by conflict

Others will fight the good fight

Some will rely on the darkness

Some will rely on the light

Some elevate with compassion

Yearning for knowledge and peace

Some motivate through aggression

Selfishly serve their own needs

Shadows disappear at night

Buried out of fear

Driven underground

Hidden lies the rage inside

Like a ticking bomb

That doesn’t make a sound

People will obsess

With suffering and death

Questioning their own desires

This morbid fascination

Renders us possessed

By our violent and destructive side

When we lay our armor down

Fragments of our love

Slip through the cracks of hate

But the raging storm below

Will never go away

If it is not embraced

Shadows disappear at night

Buried out of fear

Driven underground

Hidden lies the rage inside

Like a ticking bomb

That doesn’t make a sound

Shadows disappear at night

Harmless as a dove

Clever like a snake

Hidden lies the rage inside

Like sleeping giant

One we dare not wake

Standing under the eclipse

Are we sheltered and concealed

Or bathing in its glow?

Our desires and ambitions

And our need to believe

There is good in this world

Spin a common thread
