Degree 2: Blind Faith [music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess] [lyrics by James LaBrie]
Hear me, speaking Asking why I even bother Tell me, how you Live from day to day
Take your time and look around Is this utopia you've found
Sick of all of this The suffering and we just carry on Isn't it time we care and lose the hate Understand our fears
But we do all that we can Justify the means to an end Sorry you must excuse me I've painted my own Mona Lisa She's fixed everything Now I'm spoiled beyond my wildest dreams
Blind Faith we have in you Invisible Which direction do we choose Predictable
Take the streets, the beaten path Our system works for whom I ask Yeah I have it all The bigger house An iron fence to keep you out
When did we all let you down So come Messiah show us how how Our human spirit drowns Don't think you hear me now No sign of you around What is it you hope to see
Blind Faith we have in you Invisible Which direction do we choose Predictable Give us something we can use Desirable Cause you've done all you can do Regrettable
And still life pushes on With or without you We've got to carry on Our will, will guide us to A place where we belong Know there lies the truth I am the believer who gives purpose on to you
I don't think we let you down So come Messiah show us how how Throw us a pure lifeline I hope that you hear me Too proud to be around There's more to us than we see now
Blind Faith we have in you Invisible Which direction do we choose Predictable Self ignorance, abuse Desirable Cause you've done all you can do Incredible
