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.

Metropolis Part I Lyrics
Dream Theater
The smile of dawn
Arrived in early May
She carried a gift from her
home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be
confined to this mind
I was told theres a miracle for each day that I try
I was told theres a new love thats born for each one that has died
I was told thered be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
Youll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could live without pain without sorrow
But as a man Ive found its all caught up with me
Im asleep yet Im so afraid
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
Theres a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without end
The citys cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and well stay alive
The third arrives...
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be a third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
Shes taken you to your home
It can only take place
When the struggle between our children has ended
Now the miracle and the sleeper know that the third is love
Love is the dance of eternity
