Endless Sacrifice Songtext
von Dream Theater

Cold, lying in my bed
Staring into darkness
Lost, I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return again

Like a child who′s run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day

I′m so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane, to make me whole


Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me
Why I chose this life?
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Pain, it saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light shines on my soul
While a 1000 candles burn

Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still

You're so far away
And so alone
You long for love′s embrace
To keep you sane, to make you whole


Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I′m gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me
Why I chose this life?
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Over the distance
We try to make sense of surviving together
While living apart
Striving for balance
We rise to the challenge of staying connected
In spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken
And all that you′ve done
So that I could live out this undying dream
Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I′ll always remember your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
