The Great Debate Lyrics - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater

What if someone said 

Promise lies ahead 

Hopes are high in certain scientific circles 

Life won't have to end 

You could walk again 

What if someone said 

Problems lie ahead 

They've uncovered something highly controversial 

The right to life is strong 

Can't you see it's wrong 

Human kind has reached a turning point 

Poised for conflict at ground zero 

Ready for a war 

Do we look to our unearthly guide 

Or to white coat heroes 

Searching for a cure

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Turn to the light 

Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates 

Turn to the light 

Turning away would be a terrible mistake 

Anarchistic moral vision 

Industries of death 

Facing violent opposition 

Unmolested breaths 

Ethic inquisitions breed 

Antagonistic views 

Right wing sound bite premonitions 

In a labyrinth of rules 

Are you justified 

Are you justified 

Are you justified 

Justified in taking 

Life to save life 

Life to save life 

Taking life to save life 

Photos 

This embryonic clay 

Wrapped in fierce debate 

Would be thrown away 

Or otherwise discarded 

Some of us believe 

It may hold the key 

To treatment of disease 

And secrets highly guarded 

Are you justified 

Are you justified 

Are you justified 

Justified in taking 

Life to save life 

Life to save life 

Life to save life 

Human kind has reached a turning point 

Poised for conflict at ground zero 

Ready for a war 

Do we look to our unearthly guide 

Or to white coat heroes 

Searching for the cure 

Turn to the light 

Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates 

Turn to the light 

Turning away would be a terrible mistake 

We're reaching 

But have we gone too far 

Harvesting existence 

Only to destroy 

Carelessly together 

We are sliding 

Someone else's future 

Four days frozen still 

Someone else's fate 

We are deciding 

Miracle potential 

Sanctity of life 

Faced against each other 

We're divided 

Should we push the boundaries 

Or should we condemn 

Moral guilt and science 

Have collided 

Turn to the light 

We defy our own mortality these days 

Turn to the light 

Pay attention to the questions we have raised
