Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater

Nicholas:
Where did we come from, 
Why all we here? 
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Victoria:
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"

Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Note:

The song is really touch me. It remind the people that one day they will die, we will die soon or latter. But, I believe, even though I never see the prove, that we will have another life after our body death!

Aliran progressive rock seperti yang diusung oleh Dream Theater ini bagi saya adalah salah satu aliran musik yang mampu mempermainkan emosi pendengarnya. Meskipun sebenarnya semua aliran musik mampu melakukannya. Hanya saja, bagi saya musik ini merupakan salah satu yang terhebat dalam mencampur adukkan emosi, baik yang menggebu-gebu maupun yang sedikit slow.
