Scene Five: Through Her Eyes - Dream Theater

Nicholas:

She never really had a chance

On that fateful moonlit night

Sacrificed without a fight

A victim of her circumstance

Now that Ive become aware

And Ive exposed this tragedy

A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair

Im learning all about my life

By looking through her eyes

Just beyond the churchyard gates

Where the grass is overgrown

I saw the writing on her stone

I felt like I would suffocate

Inloving memory of our child

So innocent, eyes open wide

I felt so empty as I cried

Like part of me had died

Im learning all about my life

By looking through her eyes

And as her image

Wandered through my head

I wept just like a baby

As I lay awake in bed

And I know what its like

To lose someone you love

And this felt just the same

She wasnt given any choice

Desperation stole her voice

Ive been given so much more in life

Ive got a son, Ive got a wife

I had to suffer one last time

To grieve for her and say goodbye

Relive the anguish of my past

To find out who I was at last

The door has opened wide

Im turning with the tide

Looking through her eyes
