The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun (08:04)
    - John Petrucci

 Watching my window I was led like a child
 As the roadway lamplights
 misguided my mind through the night
 a shadow of limits
 We were racing the rain
 my hands held the wheel
 My eyes tried to hold their place

    there must have been a time
    when I thought that you were watching
    It had to be when my senses lost control
    I thought I'd slipped away
    I thought I could still feel us moving
    It must have been a cloud
    no bigger than a man's hand

 Every reason I risk my life
 To come back to you
 Is locked behind your door
 You're my immunity
 Outside I watched you burn
 Heavy hearts were bleeding
 A cry for help, a familiar voice
 My melting hands streaked the glass

    As I walked away
    I wondered what had really happened
    had I run out of time
    did I push myself too far
    As my last step fell
    I felt my hands upon the wheel
    had I come back to life
    or did I ever leave at all
    In higher lives
    We seem to be
    always a moment too late
    We're past the time
    when we looked on
    Now we're
    THE ONES WHO HELP TO SET THE SUN
    this time for real
    I locked the door behind me
    My mind was still a wreck
    from what I saw
    For when my hands are still
    I'll recognize the message
    never again will my senses lose control
    In higher lives
    We seem to be
    Always a moment too late
    We're past the time
    when we looked on
    Now we're
    THE ONES WHO HELP TO SET THE SUN
