Dream Theater - The Shattered Fortress - Текст песни

Freedom - calls my name 
Serenity - keeps me sane 
Happiness - it dulls the pain 
Honor - to save my fate 
Hoping - to run away 
Willingness - to understand 
Justice - but do not judge 
Courtesy - for all to start 
Kindness - it"s not that hard 
Self-restraint - the self impaired 
Inventory - my daily bread 
Analysis - and then you"re gone 

Look in the mirror 
What do you see? 
The Shattered Fortress 
That once burned me 

Faithfull ascent 
Through darkest fires 
I"ve found the path 
To take me higher 

You"re smart enough 
For me to trust 
Go live your life now 
Just keep these steps 
In your life 
And you"ll know how 

If you"re not sure 
Ask yourself 
Have I done to them 
As I would have them 
Do to me? 

Look in the mirror 
What"s that you see? 
The Shattered Fortress 
Fly now, be free! 

Faithful ascent 
Through darkest fires 
I"ve found the path 
To take me higher 

I once thought it better 
To be right 
But now I have finally seen the light 
Sometimes you"ve got to be wrong 
And learn from mistakes 
I live with serenity now 
16ab 

Not self-righteous hate 

(Help me be a channel of Thy peace 
That were there is hatred, I may bring love 
That were there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness 
That were there is discord, I may bring harmony 
That were there is error, I may bring truth 
That were there is doubt, I may bring faith) 

Now that you can see all you have done 
(That were there is despair, I may bring hope 
That were there is shadow, I may bring light) 

It"s time to take that step into the kingdom 
(That were there is sadness, I may bring joy) 

All your sins will help to make you strong 
(That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted 
That I may seek to understand, rather than to be understood) 

And help you break right through the prison wall 
(That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved, 
for it is by self-forgetting that one finds, 
it is by forgiving that one is forgiven) 

Keep all of me 
The desires that once burned me deep inside 
Help me live today 
And help to give me grace 
To carry out your ways 

I am ready, help me be all I can be 
I am ready, help guide me and keep me straight 

I am responsible when anyone, anywhere 
Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there 
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere 
Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there
