Dream Theater (often abbreviated to DT) is a progressive metal and rock band, formed by three students at the Berklee College of Music in 1985. In the twenty years since their inception, they have become one of the most successful progressive bands since the height of progressive rock in the mid-1970s, despite being relatively unknown in mainstream pop and mainstream rock circles. Their two highest selling albums are 1992's "Images and Words", which was awarded a gold record and is consistently regarded as a seminal progressive metal release; and 2005's deeply conceptual "Octavarium". Following the line of the conceptual creation of Dream Theater, we have the quartet of albums: Metropolis 2: Scenes From A Memory, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, Train Of Thought and the Octavarium itself. Also we have a quartet (so far) of tracks: "The Glass Prison" (SDOIT), "This Dying Soul" (TOT), "The Root Of All Evil" (Octavarium), and "Repentance" (Systematic Chaos) where by the composition of Portnoy he explains the steps of the alcoholic rehabilitation.

- john petrucci
Sometimes, for a moment of bliss
And the passion, we're craving
There's a message we miss
Sometimes when, the spirits left alone
We must believe in something
To find if we've grown
Sometimes, if you're perfectly still
You can hear the virgin weeping
For the savior of your will
Sometimes, your castles in the air
And the fantasies you're seeking
Are the crosses you bear
Swept away with the tide
(swept away)
Through the holes in my hands
(in my hands)
Crown of thorns at my side
(crown of thorns at my side)
Drawing lines in the sand
Tragic reflex, shattered calm
Static progress, senses gone
Numb awareness, final psalm
Sacred conflict, blessed prize
Weeping crosses, stainless eyes
Desperate addict, faith disguised
Swept away with the tide
(swept away)
Through the holes in my hands
(in my hands)
Crown of thorns at my side
(crown of thorns at my side)
Drawing lines in the sand
